Tony Dorigo says he has spoken with Gretar Steinsson regarding the possibilities of fresh arrivals at Leeds United, where the Icelandic transfer guru is part of the Elland Road recruitment squad. Steinsson will be hard at work with Leeds’ new-look transfer staff, which is under pressure to make some new additions at Elland Road. The era of a one-man tyranny dictating every play is over. Following Victor Orta’s departure to Sevilla, Leeds took a new approach, initially bringing in Nick Hammond on a temporary basis.

Leeds United fans have already endured one summer with Willy Gnonto attempting to force his way out of Elland Road. And they may have to cope with it again in the last two weeks of the summer transfer season.

The Italy international has been reintegrated into Daniel Farke’s plans after requesting a move away from West Yorkshire last year when Everton attempted to sign…

After a generally level first half, the visitors stepped up their game in the second half, missing a slew of chances before goals from Jota and Salah at 60 and 65 minutes.

Nottingham Forest started their season with a draw against Bournemouth. Nuno Espirito Santo’s side got off to a great start at the City Ground after facing the worst conceivable start to the season. Forest lost Danilo to what could be a season-ending injury in the first few minutes; everyone will wish him well. Despite the extended delay as medics treated to the midfielder, Forest scored after 23 minutes when Chris Wood tapped home from inside the box. However, the second half had a lot to be desired, with the Reds surrendering their lead before the visitors scored a late equaliser.…
Leeds United has had a difficult start to the 2024-25 season, but consider Daniel Farke, who has been required to win games without four key players from the previous season. Leeds have been without Crysencio Summerville, Archie Gray, and Glen Kamara for at least two matches this season, with Georginio Rutter missing on Saturday ahead of his £40 million move to Brighton.

Liverpool are yet to make a signing during the summer transfer season. Arne Slot has refuted the assumption that Liverpool will get weaker if they do not make any signings this transfer window. The Reds are the only team in the Premier League, as well as Europe’s top five divisions, that has not expanded its squad. Manchester City, Arsenal, Manchester United, and Tottenham Hotspur also made significant additions. Liverpool attempted to sign one player, but Martin Zubimendi turned down the opportunity to continue with Real Sociedad. Some feel that Liverpool’s failure to strengthen means they will be less competitive than…
