The Whites chose to cash in on the talented central midfielder midway through the 2016/17 season. Leeds United’s academy system has produced many excellent young players over the years, and Archie Gray appears to be the latest to make the breakthrough. The 17-year-old whiz has started 29 of the club’s 33 Championship matches this season, the majority of which have been at an awkward right-back position for him. Head coach Daniel Farke has put his trust in the former U21s sensation, transforming him into a regular first-team starter for the Whites in the second division. Alex Mowatt, who broke into…

Leeds United play Leicester City in the Championship on Friday night, with possibilities at Daniel Farke’s disposal, so we asked our club writer to suggest the XI he would pick. Daniel Farke has made five changes since Leeds United began its eight-game winning streak, indicating that his starting are routinely performing at a high level. Three of those changes were due to injuries (Sam Byram, Daniel James, and Patrick Bamford), one was Illan Meslier’s return from suspension, and the other was Liam Cooper’s rotation out following a busy holiday season. The nucleus of this club has given Farke no incentive…
The US international was restricted to a part-time position at the Emirates Stadium and decided to leave after only one season in North London. Matt Turner knew he had to leave Arsenal for a new challenge, and Nottingham Forest came knocking to sign the USA goalkeeper.

Despite being a fixture for his national team, Turner struggled to get playing time after leaving the New England Revolution in 2022. He made…
Garry Birtles, a Nottingham Forest great, has praised Felipe following the Reds’ victory over West Ham at the weekend. The commentator was speaking on the Forest Focus podcast. So, what has Birtles said about Forest defender Felipe? Let’s look more closely. What Garry Birtles said about Forest center-back Felipe. Birtles appears to be a huge supporter of Felipe, and his return to the Forest team certainly helped over the weekend.

Leeds United enters Friday night’s critical showdown against Leicester City on the back of an eight-game unbeaten streak. The Whites have a perfect record since the New Year, and 2024 has undoubtedly been the year for some of the fringe players to shine after a rough first half of the season. Ilia Gruev has made his imprint on the club, starting the last ten matches in all competitions in place of the injured Pascal Struijk, with Ethan Ampadu moving to centre-back. Struijk was a key player under Daniel Farke until he sustained an injury during the Boxing Day loss to…
Daniel Farke has made it clear what he believes is needed if Leeds United get promoted from the Championship this season, having learned the hard way with Norwich City. If Leeds United is to gain promotion and stay in the Premier League, they will need to spend a lot of money on recruitment and contract renewals. Daniel Farke has given his clearest suggestion yet as to what 49ers Enterprises must do if the team is released from the EFL’s restraints in May. The German has led Norwich City to two of the previous five Championship crowns, and some were surprised…

After a difficult start in which they won only two of their first seven games, Leeds United are currently second in the Championship and appear to be on track to return to the Premier League at the first time of asking, prompting salary increases for several key players. Leeds march on towards promotion. Leeds currently appear like the favourites for automatic promotion, thanks in part to Southampton’s defeat at home to Hull City on Tuesday night, and they show no signs of slowing down anytime soon. Last weekend’s 2-0 win…
Leeds United are now experiencing the Welsh revolution at Elland Road. Indeed, Ethan Ampadu, Joe Rodon, Connor Roberts, and Dan James are all notable Leeds players who have also represented Wales at international level. Years before the Welsh revolution occurred at Elland Road, there was an inflow of Australians. Indeed, Leeds signed several Australian players in the late 1990s and early 2000s, including two of the greatest, Harry Kewell and Mark Viduka. Micah Richards of The Rest is Football has been debating who the best Australian in Premier League history is, and while he ultimately chose Tim Cahill, he named…
The latest Nottingham Forest news as the Reds go to Villa Park hoping to build on their much-needed triumph against West Ham. Aston Villa may have stabilized the listing ship with their much-needed victory over Fulham, but the competition for a top-four finish has heated up in the last month or so. Manchester United’s resurgence since their loss to Nottingham Forest, combined with the return of Tottenham Hotspur’s key players, has resulted in Villa’s wobble coming at a horrible moment. While Unai Emery hopes his team can build on their 2-1 win at Craven Cottage with another victory over the…
