Leeds United could consider signing Tottenham Hotspur loanee Joe Rodon at Elland Road this summer. But Gusto was a bundle of energy and effort from his first Blue game, when he was brought on as a substitute for Reece James in the season’s opening match against Liverpool. All that was left was to harness and refine it. In Gusto’s debut start against Luton, he added two assists. But after a VAR review, the Frenchman was given a harsh but straight red card in our loss to Aston Villa at the end of September. After serving his suspension, he suffered…

The Whites’ deal to sign the defender in the summer of 2022 went horribly wrong. Leeds United were relegated from the Premier League at the end of last season, dropping back to the Championship following three seasons in the top division.

Jesse Marsch was brought in to replace Marcelo Bielsa in February 2022, and his efforts over the next three months maintained the Whites in the Premier League, securing the…

As the Chelsea players went over to applaud the travelling supporters against Brentford, Malo Gusto’s name was sung loudly at the Gtech Community Stadium. It was the latest sign of the growing appreciation for the full-back from those in Blue. This season – Gusto’s first outside of his native France – has been a learning curve. It has brought the highs of establishing himself in the Chelsea first team and an international debut, but also the lows of injury and a first senior dismissal. The defender needed time. Patience was required. But in recent weeks, Pochettino and everyone else associated…

It’s possible that Kieran Tierney may rejoin Arsenal this summer because it seems unlikely that Real Sociedad would be able to afford the £20 million needed to sign the left-back on a permanent basis. The Scotland international has performed admirably since joining Sociedad from Arsenal in the summer, but it appears that securing a long-term contract for the 26-year-old may not be simple.

The La Liga club are…

The England midfielder’s West Ham career has not been going well since his loan move from Manchester City. Kalvin Phillips, a former Leeds United midfielder, endured another West Ham United nightmare as his loan deal from Manchester City continued to fail.
