Leeds United has lost eight players this summer, and the attention has shifted to finding replacements, but the agent of one Leeds player is looking for a move away. Georginio Rutter moved to Brighton on Monday, joining the likes of Archie Gray, Crysencio Summerville, and Glen Kamara who left this summer, with Leeds earning around £140 million in player sales. However, with only £15 million spent, fans are upset that a team that looked good enough to go one further this season and clinch promotion has had its assets stripped, and a top-six finish is unlikely. Daniel Farke is looking…

Liverpool’s lack of summer additions is unlikely to be due to concerns about profit and sustainability guidelines (PSR). That is the assessment of finance specialist Stefan Borson, who exclusively told Football Insider that he is beginning to see indicators that several clubs who have been quiet in the window may become more active as the transfer deadline approaches on August 30.

Last season, the stopper failed to impress either Steve Cooper or Nuno Espirito Santo, finishing as the third-choice custodian. Vlachodimos was part of some financial gymnastics for Forest, as the club agreed to a deal with Newcastle for Elliot Anderson.

Anderson came off the bench for Forest on Saturday, but Vlachodimos felt a very familiar feeling. Newcastle made an unusual Odysseas…
