Nottingham Forest’s 2024/25 season has gotten off to an excellent start, with five points already on the board. As the international break continues, Nuno Espirito Santo has been given the opportunity to reflect on the first three league games. This follows a busy transfer window in which numerous players have come and gone from the City Ground in recent months. However, there are still some windows that did not close last Friday as they did in England, with transactions still ongoing. And there has just been one confirmed elsewhere which has seen Forest finally part ways with a player Steve…

The international break came at the wrong time for Leeds United, who appeared to be gaining momentum in the Championship. Before the international break, Daniel Farke’s side thrashed Hull City at Elland Road. Mateo Joseph and Joel Piroe scored goals to secure the win. The victory wasn’t the only takeaway from the game; a handful of Leeds United’s new additions shone. Manor Solomon and Largie Ramazani shone brightly, and the former even contributed an assist. Many believed that Crysencio Summerville’s departure would have a significant impact on Leeds’ creativity in the last third, but Farke found a way. A key…

Konate did not make a single appearance when France advanced to the semi-finals of the competition in Germany earlier this summer. However, after starting the 2024-25 Premier League season in impressive form, helping the Reds win all three games without conceding a goal, the 25-year-old was given a chance from the start when France faced Italy in…

On their return from the international break, Leeds United will welcome Burnley at Elland Road. Despite huge summer exits for both, Leeds and Burnley are many people’s favourites for automatic promotion this season, with both already in the top six. Between now and the game in seven days, Leeds has several players away representing their nationalities. Daniel Farke will be hoping that everyone returns to full fitness, given the potential importance of the game and how injuries to Wilfried Gnonto, Connor Roberts, and Ilia Gruev before the March break wrecked their promotion bid last season. So, with that in mind,…
Nottingham Forest will be overjoyed to have completed the summer transfer window while keeping their key players at the club. Nuno Espirito Santo’s squad has made a promising start to the 2024/25 season, with five points from their first three games. Forest were able to sign a double-digit number of new players this summer, with Evangelos Marinakis offering ample support for Nuno. However, it is clear that some of the club’s top players who stayed during the summer may be concerned about their long-term prospects. Morgan Gibbs-White is likely to enter into new contract talks in order to become Forest’s…
Everton have revealed an agreement in which existing Leeds United sponsor Red Bull will become the club’s new ‘Official Energy Drink Partner’. The energy drink corporation was named Leeds’ front-of-shirt sponsor at the start of the season in an agreement that would see them acquire a minority investment in the West Yorkshire club.

No figures have been disclosed, but as part of the multi-year agreement, which will include not only the club’s historic final…
Leeds United’s pay cost is one of the biggest in the Championship. Only Leicester City and Southampton had higher last season, and Leeds looks expected to be among the relegated clubs again this season in terms of player salaries. Despite the wage cuts that came with relegation, Leeds still has a few players on their books from their Premier League days. Illan Meslier, Pascal Struijk, Junior Firpo, Brenden Aaronson, Max Wober, Wilfried Gnonto, Patrick Bamford, Joe Gelhardt, and Dan James (loaned out) all appeared for the first team during the relegation season. Given that this is Leeds’ second season without…
An Eintracht Frankfurt representative takes aim at Nottingham Forest and others who unsuccessfully pursued Omar Marmoush during the summer transfer season. Eintracht Frankfurt claims it was simple to persuade Omar Marmoush to turn down transfer interest from Nottingham Forest late in the summer window. The club waited until the last minute to sign a forward, a choice that proved costly. Deadline day was far from a flop, as the loan signing of James Ward-Prowse and the signing of defender Morato from Benfica completed Nuno Espirito Santo’s summer acquisitions. Only time will tell if he regrets not signing another striker. Officials…
