‘Bielsa would make him a top player’ – Some Leeds fans react to links with 22-yr-old attacker
Leeds United have been linked with a move for Daniel James from Manchester United. The talented young winger was linked with a move to Elland Road before he joined the Premier League giants last summer. It will be interesting to see if the Whites can sign the 22-year-old in the coming weeks. James has fallen down the pecking order at Old Trafford and he needs to play regularly at this stage of his career. A move to Leeds United could be ideal for the Manchester United player right now. He is likely to get more first-team chances at Leeds United and Marcelo Bielsa could help him develop as a player. James picked up four goals and seven assists for Manchester United last year. James will add pace and unpredictability to the Leeds United attack if he joins them. Furthermore, he played on both...
Report: Leeds & NUFC plotting move for Euro 2016 winner, Moyes also keen
According to Portuguese newspaper O Jogo, Leeds United, Newcastle United and West Ham United are all interested in bringing back Inter Milan attacking midfielder Joao Mario to the English Premier League this summer. The Portugal international is not in the plans of manager Antonio Conte and the Serie A giants are ready to sell him for around £12 million. Mario spent last term on loan at Lokomotiv Moscow, scoring once and assisting five more in 18 games, and he was with the Hammers during the second-half of 2017-18, getting two goals and one assist in 14 games to help guide David Moyes’ side to safety. While a reunion could be on the cards, Leeds look like a more attractive option at the moment given their impressive start to the Premier League campaign and exciting style of play. The Ellan...
Report: Leeds United have tabled a new offer for defensive target
Leeds United have been linked with a move for the Brighton defender Haydon Roberts. According to Football Insider, the Premier League side have had a big turn down for the highly-rated defender but now they have decided to table a new offer for the England youth international worth around £800,000. It will be interesting to see if Leeds can finally agree on a fee with the Seagulls for the 18-year-old defender. Leeds tried to deal with Brighton for Ben White earlier in the summer but they were unsuccessful. Roberts is a highly talented defender who has a big future ahead of him. Signing him now would be a smart long term investment from Leeds United. A manager like Marcelo Bielsa could help the youngster fulfil his potential at Elland Road. Leeds have done well to develop young players at t...
Leeds plotting £13.7m bid for target, some of their fans react: ‘Fantastic player’, ‘Get him’
Leeds United have been linked with a move for Erick Pulgar. We covered reports earlier that the Premier League club are plotting a £13.75m bid for the midfielder. Pulgar has done well for Fiorentina this past season and he could prove to be a smart addition to Marcelo Bielsa’s midfield. It will be interesting to see if Leeds can convince the Italian outfit to sell the player to them. The 26-year-old is a combative presence in the midfield who will add goals to the side as well. Pulgar is a good tackler who will help Leeds defensively. He managed to pick up seven goals and eight assists for Fiorentina last season as well. The 26-year-old is a box-to-box midfielder and Leeds could use someone like him alongside Phillips and Klich this season. The Whites have been linked with Udinese’ Ro...
Report: Leeds pushing to sign 26-year-old…club preparing second bid
Leeds United are reportedly keen to sign Eric Pulgar, and the Whites are pushing hard to get his deal over the line in the coming days. The Yorkshire club had an opening £10 million bid rejected for the midfielder last week. However, Leeds are seemingly still keen to secure his signature. According to latest reports from Italian newspaper La Nazione, Leeds are planning to make a second bid to sign the midfielder. The report claims that the Whites are preparing another offer in the region of £13.75million to sign the Chile international, as talks continue to bring the Fiorentina midfielder to Elland Road. The 26-year-old has caught the attention of Leeds after an outstanding 2019-20 campaign for the Viola. He made 41 appearances in all competitions, where he was directly invo...
Report: Fulham to make interest in EPL defender & Leeds target formal soon
According to The Athletic’s Peter Rutzler, Fulham hold interest in Watford defender Craig Dawson and Tottenham Hotspur’s Juan Foyth, and they are expected to make the interest formal in the coming days. Manager Scott Parker wants to bolster his defence after his side shipped seven Premier League goals in their first two games of the new campaign, and landing the Spurs man and Hornets star could come very handy in order to boost their survival chances. Fulham have also linked with Sassuolo defender Marlon Santos, but they will have to part with at least £14 million to have a chance of landing the Brazilian. Foyth is expected to leave North London this summer as he is clearly not in boss Jose Mourinho’s plans this term and going forward. The Argentine has also been linked with Leeds United, ...
Report: Leeds and Newcastle keen on signing 25-yr-old from PL giants this summer
Arsenal defender Calum Chambers is a man in demand this summer. According to Nicolo Schira, Newcastle United, Leeds United and West Ham United are all interested in signing the Arsenal defender this summer. The 25-year-old defender has fallen out of favour at the club and he’s unlikely to get regular first-team football at Emirates this season. Chambers needs to leave in order to play regular first-team football and it will be interesting to see if he suitors can agree on a deal with the Gunners now. As per reports, Arsenal are willing to sell the player for £15 million. Clubs like Newcastle, Leeds and West Ham can certainly afford to pay that amount and it remains to be seen who comes forward with the first offer. All three clubs could use defensive depth and Chambers has the potential to...
‘One of the best players’: Some Leeds fans buzzing after latest transfer report
Leeds United fans have taken to social networking site Twitter to express their reaction to reports linking the club with a move for Ruslan Malinovskyi. According to reports from The Telegraph, the Whites are said to be keen on signing the midfielder from Atalanta. Leeds are keen to bolster their midfield and have been linked with a move for Udinese’s Rodrigo de Paul. However, the Italian club’s £35m valuation of the player is proving to be a stumbling block. Malinovskyi, on the other hand, could represent a much cheaper alternative. Leeds fans are excited with the latest transfer rumour, with many feel that he would be a quality signing. Here are some of the selected tweets: malinovskyi was one of the best players in that atalanta team last season, rdp is good but i’d say m...
Report: Bielsa closes in on another signing, player likely to cost around £27.5m
Argentine midfielder Rodrigo De Paul has been linked with a move to Leeds United this summer. The Premier League side are looking to add more creativity to their midfield and the 26-year-old could prove to be a quality addition. According to new reports (h/t Sportwitness), the midfielder is now one step away from joining Leeds United. The two clubs have been in talks for a while and things have progressed. The Italian club are likely to get around €30m (£27.5m) plus bonuses for the midfielder. Rodrigo De Paul is at the peak of his career right now and he could make an immediate impact at Elland Road if he completes the transfer. Moving to the Premier League would be a step up in his career and a manager like Marcelo Bielsa could elevate his game to another level with his coachin...
Report: Leeds want £20m Hammers target who had 9 goals & 7 assists last term
According to The Daily Telegraph, Leeds United are keeping tabs on Atalanta midfielder Ruslan Malinovskyi as they look to strengthen head coach Marcelo Bielsa’s options in the middle of the park. The Whites have been linked with Udinese midfielder Rodrigo De Paul upon returning to the English Premier League, but agreeing a fee for the Argentine is proving herculean with the Italian outfit holding out for £35 million. Malinovskyi is valued at around £20 million and has also been linked with West Ham United. The 27-year-old attacking midfielder ended last season with nine goals and seven assists in 44 games across all competitions, and he could be a fine signing for Leeds. Whites boss Bielsa wants quality competition and cover for Spanish veteran Pablo Hernandez, and the Ukrainian fits the b...
Report: Leeds United win race for player
According to La Repubblica, Leeds United have won the race for Udinese attacking player Rodrigo De Paul. It has been reported by the Italian publication that despite interest from other clubs, it is Leeds – who are playing in the Premier League this season after winning automatic promotion from the Championship at the end of the 2019-20 campaign – who have won the race for the 26-year-old, who can play as an attacking midfielder or as a winger. Would Rodrigo De Paul be a good signing for Leeds United? Pablo Hernandez is the main creator at Leeds, and the former Valencia and Swansea City remains a player at the top of his game. However, Hernandez is not getting any younger, and the Spaniard needs support as the season progresses. De Paul is a very good and creative player who will make Leed...
