‘We have an advantage’ – Leeds chief confirms club will enter talks to sign 23-yr-old this summer
Leeds United will look to sign the Brighton defender Ben White this summer. The 23-year-old has been at loan at Elland Road and he has managed to establish himself as one of Bielsa’s best players. Leeds chief Angus Kinnear has revealed to Yorkshire Evening Post that the Whites will speak to Brighton about a permanent deal this summer. It will be interesting to see if Brighton are willing to let the player leave. White is rated highly by the Seagulls and Potter recently confirmed that he is not going anywhere. Kinnear claims that Leeds have an advantage in the transfer chase because Ben White loves the club and he is well settled at Elland Road. It will be interesting to see if the Championship giants can convince Brighton now. “It’s one of the risks of the type of deal we did. I know suppo...
‘What a player’: Gary Lineker raves about ‘exceptional’ Manchester City star
Manchester City showed their ruthless side once again as they breezed past Brighton at the Amex Stadium on Saturday in the Premier League. Pep Guardiola’s side came into the match on the back of a 5-0 win against Newcastle United. They showed yet another top performance and earned yet another 5-0 win against Graham Potter’s side. Raheem Sterling scored his third hat-trick of the season, as City ensured they will finish in second place in the Premier League. City, who have lost nine away games this season and had lost their three previous away league games, including a defeat at Southampton last Sunday, never looked like suffering another slip-up against Brighton. Former England striker turned popular football pundit Gary Lineker showered praise on Sterling after the match on Twitter. ...

Radrizzani shares how Leeds plan to emulate parent club of 22y/o star
Leeds United are looking to return to the Premier League for the first time since 2004, and they are still favourites to secure promotion from the Championship despite a shaky form since the campaign restarted. The Elland Road outfit have won once, drawn once and lost once since the restart, but they are still top of the table with six games to go, with a six-point cushion between them and the play-offs places. Remaining in the English top-flight when they move up will be another huge challenge, but owner Andrea Radrizzani already has plans for the tough task ahead. “I want to help Leeds United return to the level our history and fans deserve. When I came to the club, I gave myself three years to deliver that and my vision remains the same: return the club to its rightful place in the Prem...
Predicted Manchester United XI vs Brighton: Solskajer to make eight changes, 24 y/o to start
Manchester United will face Brighton in the Premier League clash on Tuesday evening. The Red Devils are heading into the match with a 2-1 victory over Norwich City in the FA Cup during the weekend. United are sixth in the table, five points behind fourth-placed Chelsea. With seven games left to play, they will be looking to close the gap and get into the top four. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer made a wholesome change for the weekend’s FA Cup quarter-final against Norwich. However, he is expected to field a strong side against Brighton. David de Gea is certain to return in goal in place of Sergio Romero. In defence Victor Lindelof should come into the side in place of Eric Bailly, and form the centre-back partnership with Harry Maguire. Aaron Wan-Bissaka is also expected to return to the side. ...
Brighton Focused On Out-Foxing Leicester
Brighton & Hove Albion head to the King Power Stadium in tonight’s 6pm kick-off, hoping to pull off another unlikely victory when they take on high flying Leicester City. With Neal Maupay’s last gasp winner on Saturday condemning Arsenal to their second defeat in less than a week, the Seagulls will be aiming to take another step towards securing their survival by beating the 2015/16 champions. Buoyed by the come-from-behind victory against the Gunners, another win on the road will put even more daylight between Brighton and 16th placed Watford who played out a 1-1 draw with Leicester on the weekend. Manager Graham Potter, speaking in yesterday’s press-conference explained the need to focus on the task his team has in front of them instead of dwelling on the performances of clubs also b...
Report: Gerrard looking to lure 27y/o EPL striker to Rangers
According to Turkish newspaper Fotomac (via Sport Witness), Brighton and Hove Albion striker Florin Andone is on the radar of Rangers manager Steven Gerrard ahead of the summer transfer window. The Romanian international is currently on a season-long loan at Turkish Super Lig side Galatasaray but he is expected to leave this summer after scoring just twice in 11 appearances, and is looking for a club with a return to Brighton not on the cards despite having three more years left on his deal. Gala are already scouring the market for a replacement with Andone keen on a fresh start elsewhere after a knee injury dented his chances in Turkey. Fotomac claims Rangers are willing to take a punt on the 27-year-old, with a significant chance that he could be plying his trade at Ibrox next term....
Another Premier League player tests positive for novel coronavirus
A third first-team player from Brighton & Hove Albion tested positive for COVID-19 on Saturday, the Premier League club’s chief executive Paul Barber has confirmed. Two Brighton players had contracted the novel coronavirus in March and April and the latest positive result could cast doubts on the Premier League’s plans to resume the season that has been suspended due to the pandemic. Clubs are due to meet on Monday to further discuss “Project Restart” which envisages a return to play in June once given the green light from government, with the remaining 92 matches held behind closed doors at neutral venues. “It is a concern. Unfortunately we’ve had a third player test positive yesterday,” Barber told Sky Sports on Sunday. “So despite all of the measures that we’ve been taking over the ...
Will Premier League with no fans be worth the wait?
The Premier League is adamant that it can overcome huge logistical challenges to get players back on the pitch during the coronavirus crisis but has long since accepted there will be no fans in the stadiums. English Football Association chairman Greg Clarke became the latest senior figure to admit this week that social-distancing guidelines make it impossible for supporters to congregate in stadiums “any time soon”. The drive behind the Premier League’s “Project Restart” is the attempt to avoid having to pay back millions in TV revenue. Clubs could reportedly miss out on £762 million ($946 million) for failing to complete this season alone. According to UEFA’s latest European Club Footballing Landscape report, just 13 percent of the Premier League’s revenue comes from gate receipts. Englan...
