Since his loan stay at Elland Road, Ben White has gone on to have the career that everyone at Leeds United had hoped for. The Arsenal player spent seasons on loan at Newport County and Peterborough United before joining Leeds, but it was in West Yorkshire that he truly established himself. White played every minute of Leeds’ Championship-winning season, and in the summer, the Whites made three permanent offers to Brighton, which he declined. After a season at Brighton, he joined Arsenal for £50 million and has been an important part of the team’s revival as Premier League title contenders.…

Chris Wood has been in red-hot form for Nottingham Forest this season, continuing where he left off in 2023/24. The striker signed for Forest for £15 million, and Newcastle manager Eddie Howe confessed that he didn’t want to sell Wood. Forest incorporated a condition in a loan agreement to recruit the striker that said the move would become permanent after three starts. It’s fair to say that supporters were outraged, believing the odds were far too high. However, Wood has not been worried by any early doubts from the fan base. Last season, he scored 15 goals in all competitions,…
Jurgen Klopp’s engagement with Leeds United in his new capacity with Red Bull will provide a significant clue into the company’s long-term aspirations for the club. Following his departure from Liverpool at the end of last season, the former manager has taken on a new role as the Austrian beverage company’s Head of Global Soccer, which is somewhat contentious. Red Bull became minority owners at Elland Road this summer, bringing unprecedented investment and becoming the Whites’ front-of-shirt sponsors, which was not without controversy. According to Sky Sports Germany’s Florian Plettenberg via X on October 13, Klopp may not be seen…
Nottingham Forest have always had at least one academy product in their first-team squad, but Ryan Yates is presently the only one. Nuno Espirito Santo hasn’t shied away from rotating his lineup and giving younger players an opportunity, as evidenced by Zach Abbott’s Carabao Cup appearance. Paul Taylor was quite impressed with Abbott’s performance in the cup, which has lined him up for a potential FA Cup appearance. Ryan Yates understands what it takes to get through the academy and into the first team at Nottingham Forest. David Prutton, who is from the academy and understands the club, believes Yates…
Leeds United played their first internationals on Thursday night. Despite a slew of international stars being out injured, the Whites are once again the team with the most players abroad with their various countries during the Championship. Ethan Ampadu, Ilia Gruev, Manor Solomon, Dan James, and Max Wober are all now on the sidelines and so unable to go for international service. Daniel Farke will be hoping that his players recover to full health and do not add to his injury list, since a Friday night Yorkshire derby against Sheffield United is scheduled for next week. Brenden Aaronson is already…
According to Graeme Bailey, Leeds United were confident they would sign Roland Sallai during the transfer window and were “really disappointed” when he ended up in Turkey. On October 10, the journalist told Leeds United News that the Hungarian attacker was expected to make a significant impact in England as he approached Elland Road. The Whites were extensively connected with signing him from Freiburg in the last days of the transfer window [Sky Sports Germany, 27 August], but the deal never materialized, and he eventually joined Galatasaray after the English deadline had passed. Bailey stated, “Clearly, some have gotten away.…
Leeds United supporters and players are still reeling after Friday night’s drama, when the Whites were on the verge of a great away triumph against Sunderland. But this is Leeds, and with a few seconds of injury time remaining, Illan Meslier somehow fumbled an Alan Browne clearing that deflected slightly off Junior Firpo’s head. An egregious error that has been widely discussed by fans and pundits since. Leeds defender Pascal Struijk blamed Meslier on the pitch, while Jermaine Beckford defended him. However, it was a terrible misstep, one that Meslier will remember for years. One that will be seen often…
Ryan Gravenberch has revealed that his national teammate Virgil van Dijk pushed him to accept a move to Liverpool. The 22-year-old has been arguably Liverpool’s best player this season, and fans can thank none other than the club captain for bringing the midfielder in last summer. Speaking on the Liverpool FC YouTube channel, the Dutch international said: “Yeah, I had a couple of chats with him [Van Dijk] and he just spoke about this club that it is amazing. And that was pushing in my thoughts and that’s why I decided to come here.” One has to wonder what kind…

Morgan Gibbs-White, a Nottingham Forest midfielder, has been removed from the England squad due to injury. The 24-year-old was called up by interim boss Lee Carsley for the Three Lions’ Nations League matches against Greece and Finland this month. However, due to a late fitness test, he will not play and will remain at Forest for the international break. The FA has stated that Aston Villa defender Ezri Konsa and Manchester United midfielder Kobbie Mainoo will withdraw, and…
