The young Whites defensive midfielder is apparently receiving interest from overseas. Last summer, Leeds United head coach Daniel Farke was brought in to lead the squad back to the Premier League for the first time. During the summer transfer window, the Whites manager signed numerous new players to improve his squad, and they have helped the team climb to the top of the Championship standings. Ethan Ampadu, who was purchased from Chelsea for a reported sum of £7 million, has been one of the team’s standout performances in the second division this season, playing both defensive midfield and centre-back. He…
Archie Gray has extended a message of solidarity to teammate Pascal Struijk, who has been sidelined for the rest of the season.

Pascal Struijk’s absence is a blow to Leeds’ promotion chances. Struijk, a left-sided central defender, had been a consistent performer at the…
If the independent committee had followed Premier League CEO Richard Masters’ recommendation, Nottingham Forest would have received an unusual 13-point deduction, more than Everton’s original punishment. That is according to finance expert Kieran Maguire, who told Football Insider exclusively that if Masters’ recommendation had been considered, Forest would have faced a far larger penalty. Forest lost four points last month after being charged with violating the Premier League’s Profit and Sustainability Rules. The initial punishment was a six-point penalty, which was reduced to four points due to the club’s cooperation during the investigation. However, when engaging with the Department for…
When the Whites swooped for the excellent attacker, they went all out financially. Leeds United are now competing for promotion to the Premier League for the first time after being relegated last summer. If the Whites win promotion back to the top flight, they may need to spend money to reinforce their team, and they have already been linked with a move for £25 million-rated Celtic player Matt O’Riley. When they were last in the Premier League, the club swooped to recruit Georginio Rutter from German side Hoffenheim for a club record £35.5 million in January 2023, but he was…
Senior Nottingham Forest officials will undertake internal discussions about joining Leicester City in a legal battle with the Premier League, Football Insider has learned. The Foxes have filed legal action against the Premier League and the EFL after being charged with violating Profit and Sustainability Rules last week.

Nottingham Forest will discuss legal action against the…

Carlton Palmer feels Celtic midfielder Matt O’Riley will be an excellent signing for Leeds United, despite suggestions of them making a move for him. He also claims Celtic turned down a £10 million deal for the Denmark international.

Troy Deeney has expressed his belief that Wales’ defeat last night will have an impact on club football at Leeds United. Leeds’ Welsh quartet’s goal of competing in this summer’s EUROs came tumbling down in Cardiff after a penalty shootout defeat to Poland. Ethan Ampadu and Joe Rodon both played 120 minutes for Rob Page’s side, while Connor Roberts was forced to leave injured, but Dan James will be the most affected right now. After both teams scored nine of the first penalty kicks, James missed the decisive one, costing Wales a spot in the tournament in three months. However,…
Leeds United has made Elland Road into a fortress, and the club’s owners will have been deeply affected by the Whites’ 3-1 victory over Leicester City, another title contender. ‘Another gear’ was mentioned to Daniel Farke at Elland Road. The Leeds manager, though, most definitely felt it during the exhilarating 3-1 victory over Leicester City last month. For that matter, watching Paraag Marathe and Peter Lowy also had the same effect. The proprietors of the club eventually wish to grow rather than relocate, and there’s a good reason for it. They have a good reason for being so determined to…
