Leeds United’s squad returned for day one of pre-season training today. The Whites have had a somewhat longer break than the rest of the Championship due to their participation in the play-off final, but they arrived to Thorp Arch on Tuesday for the first day of testing. All of the big stars, like Crysencio Summerville and Willy Gnonto, were back in Yorkshire, despite continuous speculation over their futures at the club. Summerville was linked with a move to PSG earlier today and, along with Gnonto and Illan Meslier, was one of three players Leeds were willing to sell before Archie…
The race for Riccardo Calafiori is expected to flare up following Italy’s withdrawal from the European Championship this summer. In an intriguing transfer twist, it appears that the Bologna star may yet end up in the Premier League, despite positive talks with Serie A opponents. Fabrizio Romano now claims on X (previously Twitter) that Arsenal and Chelsea are ‘both alert to the situation’. It is crucial to reiterate that interest has not yet translated into bids or discussions. However, given Liverpool’s obvious need for defensive reinforcements, it’s surprising that they aren’t named as an interested party. What is Bologna’s perspective…
According to James Pearce, Adrian could turn down Liverpool’s offer of a one-year contract extension. A return to the ‘amazing’ footballer’s (as Jurgen Klopp famously characterized his performance in the European Super Cup, per the Guardian) homeland could be in the works this summer. “Slot may need to recruit a backup ‘keeper if, as expected, Adrian turns down the offer of a new one-year deal and returns to Spain to sign for boyhood club Real Betis,” a journalist at The Athletic stated. With Caoimhin Kelleher also seeking for more first-team minutes, the Reds may need to sign a top second-choice…
Amid the turmoil surrounding Archie Gray’s move to Tottenham, a defender linked with a move to Leeds United has told the media that he intends to leave his current club this summer. The 49ers have prioritized getting guys out of the door and balancing the books before returning and making a few signings. Gray is the club’s largest departure and the third most costly sale ever. Marc Roca, Jack Harrison, Sonny Perkins, and others will also go once their contracts end. As it stands, Liam Cooper, Cody Drameh, and Jamie Shackleton are technically free agents. Leeds acknowledged that they were…
Leeds United must make a choice on Junior Firpo, who has only 12 months remaining on his contract. Firpo is now in the final year of his four-year contract at Elland Road, having joined from Real Betis in the summer of 2021, and his time in West Yorkshire has been up and down. He had his greatest run in the side last season from January onwards, contributing eight assists and demonstrating his talents as one of the best left-backs in the Championship. Daniel Farke will be looking for continuity in his squad for the upcoming season, and keeping Firpo would…

Nottingham Forest are currently looking for an international central defender as they prepare to say goodbye to Moussa Niakhate. The Senegalese defender has packed his bags in Nottingham and should be unveiled as a Lyon player soon. Niakhate has been the fall guy as Forest tries to meet the most recent round of PSR criteria, and his sale has been mostly positive. His departure does leave Forest a little thin on defenders, with only Murillo, Willy Boly, and Andrew Omobamidele remaining. With that in mind, it comes as no surprise that Forest are reportedly interested in signing a central defender.…
Nottingham Forest have finalized a deal to capture Newcastle United teenager Elliot Anderson for about £35 million. The Reds sold Odysseas Vlachodimos to St James’ Park as a makeweight, which offsets some of the sum Forest paid. Anderson wanted to stay at Newcastle, but they were in danger of breaking the latest round of PSR and had to sell. Forest have stepped in and strengthened their midfield with a man who might be a valuable acquisition in the years to come. Anderson has already been unveiled at City Ground, and the signing has been discussed in greater detail. How Nottingham…
