Marcelo Bielsa once described the standout central midfielder as a “excellent” performer. Leeds United had a very quiet January transfer window, with little movement in or out of Elland Road heading into the second half of the season. Leo Hjelde was allowed to leave on a permanent basis as Championship rivals Sunderland moved in to sign the versatile defender. Darko Gyabi, Luke Ayling, and Ian Poveda were also loaned out to Plymouth Argyle, Middlesbrough, and Sheffield Wednesday, respectively, while Djed Spence’s loan to Yorkshire from Tottenham Hotspur was cut short. Daniel Farke then signed Wales international Connor Roberts from…

Leeds United centre-back Charlie Cresswell recently expressed his frustrations to Daniel Farke about his lack of playing time, but he has lately played for the U21s. Leeds’ squad depth and skill in their starting lineup this season is not good news for those youngsters who are struggling to receive the playing time they require for growth. Charlie Cresswell is one of such players, having made only a few appearances this season with Joe Rodon firmly established as the right-center-back. Charlie Cresswell plays for Leeds U21s this week. After a long trip to Plymouth Argyle for the first team, the U21s…
Jack Harrison left a “sour taste” when he left for Everton, and Daniel Farke does not appear to want the winger back at Leeds United, according to Paul Robinson. The Englishman moved from Elland Road to Goodison Park on loan last summer, amid tensions between the clubs over the Toffees avoiding relegation at the expense of the Whites, despite a profit and sustainability penalty. However, the former England goalkeeper believes that is exactly why Sean Dyche’s team would struggle to keep the 27-year-old unless they trade some of their best assets to fund a deal. He exclusively told MOT Leeds…

The team released him when he was 17 years old. In recent decades, Nottingham Forest has built a reputation for nurturing outstanding young players who make an impact at the club before going on to achieve great things in professional football. Ryan Yates, the Reds’ current vice-captain, progressed through the Nigel Doughty Academy before breaking into the first squad following several successful loan spells in the Football League. Matty Cash and Michael Dawson are just two examples of players that came through the club’s academy before leaving for a respectable amount, with Cash most notably joining Aston Villa for £16…
Dr Rajpal Brar believes Leeds United defender Pascal Struijk may need surgery for his adductor problem. The injury expert adds that the Dutchman’s setback is frustrating, and the fact that his schedule has been stretched shows that it is more serious than initially thought. If things don’t improve in the following days, he may need surgery, which would keep him out for several weeks. Speaking exclusively to MOT Leeds News, Brar, a Physical Therapist and Sports Scientist, said of Struijk: “Adductor injuries are generally frustrating, and this one sounds no different – based on the original timeline, it sounded like…
Delighted young star Archie Gray has made a ‘whole life’ Leeds United statement and revealed the Whites’ ‘point’ goal. Daniel Farke’s second-placed Whites went into Friday night’s top-of-the-table meeting with Championship leaders Leicester City having won eight league games in a row, but looked doomed to lose as the game neared its conclusion. Wout Faes’ header gave Leicester a 1-0 lead in the 15th minute, and the Foxes controlled the opening of the second half, squandering numerous opportunities to extend their lead. Gray, on the other hand, played a vital role as United staged a spectacular Elland Road comeback to…
As Nottingham Forest prepares to expand City Ground, Premier League financial rules will not take stadium expenditures into account. That is the opinion of finance expert Kieran Maguire, who exclusively told Football Insider that Forest can proceed ‘full steam ahead’ with stadium preparations since they are free from Profit and Sustainability Rules. According to The Athletic, Forest have devised a’master plan’ to increase City Ground’s capacity to 40,000 and construct a new cutting-edge training facility. It comes at a time when the team faces a possible points deduction for violating Premier League financial regulations. Nottingham Forest stadium plan gets…
