Leicester City have begun talks with a manager who Leeds United intended to hire before appointing Daniel Farke last summer, as they look for a replacement for Enzo Maresca. Leeds have subsequently brought in Farke, and he came within a whisker of gaining promotion to the Premier League on his first attempt, a season in which the Whites finished with 90 points. Indeed, any normal season with 90 points in the Championship would almost always result in promotion. But in an uncommon campaign, the top four all scored 87 points or more. Leicester was one of those four sides, winning…

Journalist Ben Jacobs provided an update on Leeds United’s need for player sales this summer. The Whites will be able to officially begin performing transfer business on Friday, and Elland Road may see a surge in incomings and outgoings. Daniel Farke and his team have already made one major choice this week, with Brenden Aaronson likely to return to the squad for preseason after his loan spell at Union Berlin ended. It was widely expected that he would be sold for a significant loss this summer, but after discussions with Farke about the potential impact on Leeds’ compliance with PSR,…
Nottingham Forest have already been rejected by one manager as they look for possible candidates for Nuno Espirito Santo. Despite ensuring Nottingham Forest’s Premier League survival last season, Nuno Espirito Santo’s availability in August remains doubtful. It is reported that the Portuguese manager has garnered interest from a variety of places after keeping Forest in the top flight. And this appears to have prompted Evangelos Marinakis to look for potential candidates for the 50-year-old manager at City Ground. However, the club’s most recent efforts have been refused, in what would undoubtedly be an outrageous appointment if successful. Forest was rejected…
Liverpool defender Jarell Quansah was the unlucky 27th member of England’s Euro 2024 squad. Quansah has risen quickly over the last year, from League One to the senior national team setup. Few anticipated the Liverpool academy graduate to have such a successful season. Quansah is now a full-fledged part of Liverpool’s senior squad, and England manager Gareth Southgate is considering him. Nonetheless, after being called up to the Three Lions’ pre-Euro 2024 squad, Quansah will be desperate to make his way into the final group. Ultimately, it always seemed doubtful, and the 21-year-old will return to the AXA Training Centre…
Fulham have had a £6.75 million deal rejected for a player rumoured to be on Leeds United’s radar ahead of the summer transfer season, but they are preparing a second offer. Leeds are looking for new wingers this summer, after Jaidon Anthony returned to Bournemouth following his loan spell at Elland Road. Half of the Premier League’s clubs want to recruit Crysencio Summerville. Fulham, Liverpool, Chelsea, West Ham, Bournemouth, Newcastle, Crystal Palace, and even James Milner’s Brighton have all been linked with a move for Summerville in the previous week. Willy Gnonto is another player slated to leave Elland Road…
When the transfer market opens on Friday, Leeds United will be hoping to make an immediate impact. Clubs may legally begin doing transfer business at the end of this week, and Leeds could surely benefit from a quick start after losing the play-off final. Leeds’ failure to make a signing until the third week of July last summer cost them promotion last season, but Paraag Marathe has already stated that they are in a better position to capitalise this time around. Along with Daniel Farke, members of Leeds’ newly established recruitment team under 49ers Enterprises will have been working hard…
Latest Nottingham Forest news: the Reds are thought to have made an approach to former AC Milan manager Stefano Pioli. Nuno Espirito Santo’s future as Nottingham Forest head coach has been called into question. Speculation concerning the Portuguese’s future at the City Ground began shortly after the 2023/24 season ended. He was reported to be on the radar of other clubs, and the Reds were linked with other managers. Former AC Milan manager Stefano Pioli has reportedly turned Forest down. Nuno’s future was initially discussed less than 24 hours after guiding Forest to Premier League safety with a final-day victory…
Former Leeds United player David Norris has spoken out about his experiences playing with point deductions, amid fears of sanctions for the club if they do not satisfy PSR criteria on time. Leeds have until the end of this month to earn enough money from player sales, which could be aided by the club’s recent Red Bull alliance, to comply with the restrictions that have troubled other English clubs in recent months. Everton and Nottingham Forest were high-profile examples of points deductions in 2023-24 for breaking the rules, and Norris, who played under a deduction at Portsmouth before joining Leeds…
Leeds United centre-back Charlie Cresswell was recently linked with 2.Bundesliga team Hannover 96, although the latter instead signed Peterborough defender Josh Knight. The Leeds team will undergo considerable changes in the coming weeks when the 49ers’ transfer market opens. Some fringe players, most notably Charlie Cresswell, are likely to be concerned about their futures at Elland Road after failing to make an impact last season. Hannover scouted Charlie Cresswell but looked elsewhere in the EFL. This week, German newspaper Bild reported that 2.Bundesliga team Hannover 96 was interested in Cresswell before the summer. Hannover failed to gain promotion to the…
The Athletic reports that West Ham has made another late contract offer to Ben Johnson in an attempt to keep the Leeds United target from departing. The outlet said on its website (11 June) that the exit-bound Irons defender was now “considering all his options” after the Premier League club offered him a five-year agreement with increased conditions. Johnson, 24, has already rejected a number of contract offers at the London Stadium and is likely to go on a free transfer when his current term expires this month, with the Whites and Crystal Palace among the clubs seeking to take…
