Marcelo Bielsa’s spell as Leeds United manager is remarkable for anyone who witnessed it at Elland Road. With his intense pressing and man-marking approach, “El Loco” immediately captured the hearts and minds of his devoted followers. Leeds fans turned out in droves to see a team relegated to League One and Championship football finally get back on track. Elland Road has won numerous trophies over the years, including three First Division crowns, an FA Cup, and a League Cup. Bielsa had finally roused Leeds, a sleeping behemoth. The team had a successful first season, but they nearly lost out on…

Leeds United are close to announcing the transfer of a sixth player this summer, and more are likely, with a Premier League club sure a £22 million fee will be sufficient to secure an Elland Road star. Archie Gray is the major one who has gone through this summer. The teenager has joined Tottenham Hotspur for a cost of £40 million, while Marc Roca and Diego Llorente have gone permanently for Real Betis. Kris Klaesson has joined Rakow in Poland, while Charlie Cresswell has signed with Ligue 1 club Toulouse. Glen Kamara is coming closer to an £8.5 million move…
Leeds United’s Wilfried Gnonto is suddenly garnering a lot of attention, with Everton and Newcastle United among the clubs interested, and Leeds could take advantage of it. The 20-year-old winger has had a rough year after attempting to force his way out of Leeds last summer. He refused to play for three games before being re-integrated into the starting lineup. However, it took half a season, as Daniel Farke forced the Italy star to sit on the bench for the majority of the first part of the 2023-24 season. He was anticipated to leave Leeds during the summer. It was…
According to Sky Sports, Leeds United are not “actively” looking to trade any players as Everton resume their pursuit of Willy Gnonto. In a live update on Sky Sports News (15 July), Jessica Creighton stated that the Toffees are still interested in the 20-year-old despite being “frustrated” when the Whites refused to sell last year. However, they are unable to finalize a deal until their star player Amadou Onana’s £50 million transfer to Aston Villa is completed. At Elland Road, the club is not looking to sell after seeing one big-money exit with Archie Gray’s Tottenham deal. Leeds United sold…
Liverpool is still keeping its cards close to their chest throughout the summer transfer window. With the international tournaments completed, the Reds will presumably have a little more leeway to operate. However, with time running out before Liverpool embarks on a tour of the United States, they will need to act quickly to get bodies in at Anfield before they depart. Arne Slot will continue to benefit from players returning to the AXA Training Centre after competing in either the Copa America or Euro 2024. As he analyzes the Liverpool group, Slot may decide he has what he needs for…
Nottingham Forest are speeding up their efforts to attract new players and hope to clinch one deal today. The Reds have signed four players in the summer transfer window. Marko Stamenic was the first to sign, however he promptly joined Olympiacos on loan for the 2024/25 season. Eric da Silva Moreira was the next player through the door, and Paul Taylor commended him for his performance in Saturday’s pre-season game against Chesterfield. Elliot Anderson then arrived from Newcastle for a cost estimated to be about £15 million, and he also appeared over the weekend. Next in was big goalkeeper Carlos…
According to Adam Pope, Connor Roberts would “really like” to return to Leeds United this summer if he falls out of favour at Burnley. The BBC Leeds journalist stated on Don’t Go To Bed Just Yet on July 15 that the Welsh international would be very interested in returning to Elland Road having spending the second part of last season on loan under Daniel Farke. However, the Whites are now “definitely” interested in Sheffield United’s Jayden Bogle and plan to make a bid for him [Mike McGrath, 13 July]. Pope said: “Incoming, I was looking at Connor Roberts, who, as…
Daniel Farke will be hesitant to allow Glen Kamara leave, despite Leeds United’s approval of a contract for him to join Rennes. Speaking exclusively to Football Insider, former Leeds goalkeeper Paul Robinson argued that the management would not have wanted to entertain offers for the midfielder after he joined the club just one year ago. He went on to say that there could have been a problem behind the scenes at Elland Road that pushed Farke to consent to the agreement. Robinson stated that Kamara may have begged the board to let him leave, and Farke would not want to…
Nottingham Forest are close to acquiring a big player as they continue to prepare for the new season. The Reds want to capitalize on last season’s success and bring in the proper players this summer to avoid relegation next season. The board has once again endorsed manager Nuno Espirito Santo, and Forest may now sign players after appearing to have resolved PSR concerns. Forest have already signed goalkeeper Carlos Miguel and Newcastle winger Elliott Anderson. However, it appears like more fresh additions are in the works, with one potential deal nearing completion, according to Fabrizio Romano. Nottingham Forest are close…
Leeds United are close to sealing their sixth permanent sale of the summer, with Glen Kamara joining Rennes, but one player’s entourage believes he will also go. Following the sales of Archie Gray, Kris Klaesson, Marc Roca, Diego Llorente, and Charlie Cresswell, Kamara is next in line, with a physical scheduled for Tuesday at Rennes ahead of an £8.5 million move to France. Kamara’s departure is somewhat surprising given that Leeds only signed the Finnish star from Rangers a year ago. However, it implies instant profit for Leeds, which, in the perspective of Profit & Sustainability, is only good news.…
