Graham Smyth feels that any club would have to pay more than Kalvin Phillips’ transfer cost to acquire Archie Gray from Leeds United this summer. According to the Manchester Evening News, Manchester City signed Phillips from Elland Road for £42 million in the summer of 2022, a deal that appears to have failed to benefit the midfield player. Gray has been linked with a number of teams after Leeds failed to gain promotion to the Premier League, with Alan Nixon suggesting that Borussia Dortmund is interested in the 18-year-old. During the Inside Elland Road podcast on Thursday (6 June), Smyth…

Paul Robinson applauded the timing of Red Bull’s investment announcement at Leeds United, which came after Daniel Farke’s team missed out on promotion.

As minority shareholders at Elland Road, the global soft drink corporation will have limited say in decisions but will inject much-needed funds into the club, which Robinson is happy about. Speaking exclusively to MOT Leeds News, he stated: “Any…

Paraag Marathe has indicated that money will be available for Daniel Farke to spend, but certain key players will have to leave to maintain compliance with PSR.
