Leeds United lost in the Championship play-off final, which could be good news for Liverpool and Newcastle United.
Daniel Farke’s side traveled to Wembley Stadium on Sunday afternoon, aiming to make an immediate return to the Premier League, but Southampton, who were also relegated last season, stood in their way.
Leeds fans have every reason to be unhappy since Adam Armstrong’s first-half goal was the difference, and they simply did not show up.
The Yorkshire club has some pretty good players on their roster, and many believe they are Premier League caliber.
Liverpool and Newcastle United are looking to Elland Road ahead of the summer transfer season to strengthen their squads.
You get the impression that their failure in the play-off final has enhanced their chances tenfold.
Will Archie Gray depart Leeds United?
Sources told HITC in February that Liverpool and Newcastle had not lost up on signing Archie Gray, their ‘phenomenal’ talent.
The 18-year-old is one of the greatest players in the Championship, and you believe they will struggle to resist interest in his services.
Liverpool and Newcastle are not the only clubs interested in the versatile talent, according to HITC, as Real Madrid and Bayern Munich have also scouted him.
Liverpool and Newcastle United’s summer transfer windows
One will be in the Champions League, with a new manager in Arne Slot at the helm, while the other will not compete in any kind of European competition.
You’re merely wondering how that affects each team’s business ahead of the summer transfer window.
It appears that Newcastle must tread carefully in order to stay within the FFP window.
Tosin Adarabioyo will be a free agent in July following his departure from Fulham, and the Magpies were optimistic of signing him.
However, sources have told HITC Football that Chelsea has made a late approach for the defender despite the fact that they are currently without a manager following the departure of Mauricio Pochettino.
