Leeds United still have a number of options to make regarding returning loanees this summer. The Whites have been gradually working through the list of eight first-team players who departed on loan last summer, with only Robin Koch and Luis Sinisterra confirming their long-term futures this season. Brenden Aaronson was then chosen as Leeds’ next signing, with Daniel Farke offering the unexpected path back to redemption at Elland Road. Max Wober, Rasmus Kristensen, and Diego Llorente now face the most uncertain futures, as none of them have the opportunity to move on loan again. There is a real likelihood that…

Graham Smyth, a Yorkshire Evening Post journalist, has ruled out one of Leeds United’s prospective winger targets for the summer. The Whites are expected to be in the market for new wide receivers in the coming weeks, with both Crysencio Summerville and Willy Gnonto looking elsewhere. Following the club’s failure to earn promotion, the two promising young players have been identified as the most likely departures from Elland Road. Summerville is desired by a number of Premier League clubs, including Brighton, but despite claims, no deal appears to be in the works. Meanwhile, Gnonto has been connected with a return…
Gary Neville has expressed strong views about one Liverpool player who will play at Euro 2024. Despite failing to impress in England’s first two games of the tournament, Gareth Southgate pulled Trent Alexander-Arnold from the starting lineup against Slovenia, opting for Conor Gallagher in midfield. The Chelsea player was substituted at halftime during the competition’s worst encounter so far, and speaking on ITV, the former Manchester United defender was taken aback by the Reds’ vice-captain’s selection for international duty. Neville raged: “I’d like to name Trent Alexander-Arnold. I know it’s a big boy’s game and you can be left out…
Leeds United’s midfield underwent substantial surgery last summer, with three new players joining in Daniel Farke’s first window, but one man chose to reject the offer of Elland Road. With Marc Roca, Tyler Adams, Adam Forshaw, and Weston McKennie all leaving Leeds for various reasons following their relegation, the club was forced to bring in three new faces, including Glen Kamara from Rangers. Another was Ilia Gruev from Werder Bremen in Germany, and while Ethan Ampadu has recently shone as a centre-back, he was recognized as a midfielder when Daniel Farke signed him for Leeds in 2023. Archie Gray was…

Leeds United will resume pre-season testing next week as they prepare for the new season. Other Championship teams, such as Burnley and Middlesbrough, have already returned, however Leeds’ season ended later owing to the Championship play-off final, so they have been given an extra week. It will be fascinating to see who attends next week, as just a few Leeds players are currently on international duty. Max Wober, Rasmus Kristensen, and Brenden Aaronson are the three players who are now away at the EUROs or Copa America and will not return for some time. Ethan Ampadu, Dan James, Ilia Gruev,…
Ibrahim Sangare is Nottingham Forest’s record signing, however his debut season did not go as expected. The player signed for PSV for £30 million on transfer deadline day, shortly after Forest decided to trade Brennan Johnson to Tottenham. Sangare made just 17 appearances for the club, six of which came in 2024. Still, a variety of issues impeded Sangare’s efforts to prove to the Forest fan base that he was worth the money. He returned from the African Cup of Nations in February after catching malaria, which caused him to lose weight and become unfit to play. Sangare also had…

Liverpool players have had a mixed experience at Euro 2024 so far this summer. The Reds have ten first-team players representing their country in Germany. And things haven’t gone well for all of them. After losing to Dominik Szoboszlai and Hungary on Sunday, Andy Robertson has already returned home. Scotland was once again unable to go beyond the group stage. Virgil van Dijk and Cody Gakpo of the Netherlands have also struggled with the conditions. Gakpo has performed well, scoring his second goal of the tournament on Tuesday. However, after the Dutch suffered a shocking 3-2 setback to Austria, both…
