Report: Leeds plotting an ‘ambitious move’ for in-demand 22 y/o Newcastle target
Leeds United are edging closer to securing promotion to the Premier League. The Whites earned a fantastic 3-1 victory against Blackburn Rovers on Saturday and cemented their position at the top of the Championship table. It seems they have already started preparing for the summer transfer window. Patrick Bamford has scored 15 goals this season, but he can’t be relied upon to deliver week in week out in the Premier League. And Leeds are highly unlikely to buy Jean Kevin-Augustin on a permanent deal by spending more than £17m. According to latest reports from The Mirror, Leeds are plotting an ambitious move for Celtic striker Odsonne Edouard. If the Whites secure promotion, which looks more likely, they would make a serious attempt to sign the 22-year-old who has enjoyed a phenomen...
Report: Bielsa keen on 24-yr-old Argentine, Leeds have been following him for a while
Leeds are thought to be keen on signing the River Plate defender Lucas Martinez Quarta. According to Sportwitness, the Whites have been following the 24-year-old defender for a while now and they could make their move this summer. River Plate need to sell some players to balance their books and Quarta could be up for grabs. Marcelo Bielsa needs to sign a quality centre back and Quarta could prove to be a solid addition. He has done well for River Plate over the last two seasons and he has the ability to succeed in English football as well. Leeds are on the verge of promotion to the Premier League and they will need better defenders next season. Signing Quarta could prove to be a vital move for them. The Whites will lose Ben White when the current season ends and the 24-year-old Argentine c...

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...
Phil Hay provides Leeds transfer update on 22y/o in three words
Leeds United still have the obligation to sign Jean-Kevin Augustin from RB Leipzig, but whether they will take that option is a different question. The French striker, who joined Leeds on loan during the January transfer window, played just 48 minutes of first-team football for Marcelo Bielsa. Kevin-Augustin’s loan period has ended, and Leeds have decided not to extend his loan period. It is indeed frustrating for Leeds and the player, as he came with a lot of hope, and the fans were really excited about his signing. Phil Hay of the Athletic has claimed that the obligation clause it exists. it’s still there. — Phil Hay (@PhilHay_) July 1, 2020 In a separate tweet, he added: yes, the obligation is a separate matter. Not sure how they intend to deal with that yet. — Phil Hay ...
5 goals & 10 assists this season: Leeds plotting summer move for Championship ace
Leeds are thought to be keen on signing the Reading midfielder John Swift. The Whites were keen on the player last summer as well but they did not make a formal move. It seems that they could make their move now as per Football Insider. Swift has been a key player for Reading this season and he could prove to be a very useful addition to Marcelo Bielsa’s midfield. He will add goals and assists to the team. Furthermore, he can play in the central midfield and in the attacking midfield role as well. His versatility will be a bonus for the Whites if they manage to sign him. The 25-year-old has five goals and ten assists in the Championship so far. It will be interesting to see if the two clubs can agree on a fee for the player in the coming months. Swift might be tempted to join Leeds if ther...
‘Absolute garbage’: Many Leeds fans react to Phil Hay’s tweet
Leeds United managed only a draw against relegation-threatened Luton Town on Tuesday night at Elland Road. Marcelo Bielsa’s side came from behind to salvage a 1-1 draw. It wasn’t a convincing performance at all from the Whites who are struggling with consistency since the restart. Harry Cornick gave the visitors a shock second-half lead with a superb curling finish. Leeds equalized through Stuart Dallas in the 63rd minute. They created enough chances in the second half but failed to convert their chances. Phil Hay, the Athletic journalist, who was covering the game, posted a series of tweets after the game. He has praised Pablo Hernandez and Ezgjan Alioski for the impact they made after coming from the bench. It’s a point but you wanted three. That felt like harder work than it ...
Predicted Leeds XI vs Luton: Bielsa to make two changes, 28 y/o to start
Leeds United will face Luton Town in the Championship on Tuesday at Elland Road. The Whites returned to winning ways after earning a 3-0 win in a crucial game against Fulham last week. With that win, Leeds are now back at the top of the Championship table with three points ahead of West Bromwich Albion. Marcelo Bielsa’s side will now be looking to build on the win against Fulham when they face Luton on Tuesday. The Argentine generally doesn’t like to make many changes in his side. However, he could make a couple of changes from the starting line-up that faced Fulham. The defensive quartet of Luke Ayling, Ben White, Liam Cooper, and Stuart Dallas is likely to remain unchanged. Kalvin Phillips and Mateusz Klich will start in midfield, while Patrick Bamford is expected to operate as a lo...
Report: Leeds keen on 9-goal attacker, but face competition from Championship rivals
Leeds are thought to be keeping tabs on the Nijmegen forward Ole Romeny. According to Voetbal International (via Sportwitness), Premier League side Norwich City and another Championship side Brentford are keen on the player as well. The 20-year-old has had a good season with the Dutch outfit this year and he has 9 goals and 2 assists to his name this season. It will be interesting to see if Leeds make an offer for the player anytime soon. Romeny is a talented young player and Marcelo Bielsa could groom him into a first-team player. The Whites need more depth in their attack and the interest in Romeny is hardly surprising. That said, Leeds should look to invest in a more proven forward now. They are on the brink of promotion and they will need players who can come in and make an immediate i...
Phil Hay: Leeds in advanced talks to sign midfielder from Crystal Palace
According to The Athletic’s Phil Hay, Leeds United are in advanced talks to sign young midfielder Jadan Raymond from Crystal Palace after he rejected a professional contract at the Selhurst Park outfit. The 16-year-old is also wanted by Portuguese top-flight side Vitoria Guimaraes and has been guaranteed regular training with their first team and an immediate move into their B team. Raymond wants a clear pathway into first-team football, and Marcelo Bielsa offers that at Elland Road, with seven under-23 players named in his matchday squad that faced Cardiff City last Sunday. Ian Poveda and Robbie Gotts, both 20, were handed their league debuts in the second-half and the Palace midfielder could be tempted to choose Leeds ahead of Vitoria Guimaraes. Raymond has been with the Eagles since he ...
