Report: Leeds are ready to make their fourth most expensive signing ever in January
Leeds could go back in for Cagliari ace Nahitan Nandez in January according to a report from Calcio Mercato. Whites boss Marcelo Bielsa chased the 25-year-old midfielder throughout the entirety of the summer transfer window (Calciomercato). Leeds ended up empty-handed, however. It was a strange one because Cagliari were allegedly demanding just £22 million for the Uruguayan. Leeds obviously didn’t think he was worth that amount.

‘Probably played his last game for us’ – Some Leeds fans react to 29-yr-old’s injury news
Leeds United were beaten 3-0 by Liverpool in the Premier League yesterday. Defender Diego Llorente had to be taken off with an injury and Phil Hay from the Athletic has revealed another injury blow for the Whites. Apparently, midfielder Adam Forshaw was not a part of the squad to face Liverpool because of a calf strain. The 29-year-old has struggled with injuries over the last three seasons and he has played just nine matches for Leeds across all competitions since the start of the 2019/20 season. Forshaw has had a torrid time at Elland Road since joining Leeds back in 2017 and it will be interesting to see if the Whites decide to move him on in the coming months. Some of the Leeds fans certainly feel that the player needs to be sold in the coming window. Forshaw has barely contributed sin...
‘Something else’: Some Liverpool fans blown away by £180k-a-week ace’s display vs Leeds

‘That will be his last game’ – Pundit makes a bold claim about 27-yr-old’s Leeds future
Former Premier League striker and popular pundit Gabriel Agbonlahor believes that Helder Costa has played his last game for Leeds United. The winger joined Valencia on a loan deal with an option to buy on deadline day and he is unlikely to have a long term future at the Yorkshire club regardless of what happens at Valencia. Agbonlahor said to Football Insider: “100 per cent. That will be his last game. Dan James has come in that adds to the wingers. “Helder Costa had his chance and didn’t perform. If they could have sold him, they would have. Hopefully, they will want to get rid of him next summer when the loan is done. “They’ve got Dan James in now so I’m sure they don’t think that Costa is coming back.” The Whites signed Daniel James on a permanent deal from Manchester Uni...
Report: 24-yr-old Leeds ace linked with Liverpool has been on their radar since 2016
Brazilian winger Raphinha has been outstanding for Leeds United since his move to the Premier League and the 24-year-old has caught the attention of Liverpool and Manchester United with his performances. According to a report from the Independent, Liverpool have been following the winger since 2016. During the Copa Sao Paulo that year, Raphinha caught the attention of Liverpool’s scouts and the Reds have been keeping tabs on him ever since. Apparently Manchester United are fans of the player as well. The Reds could definitely use someone like him to freshen up their front three and Raphinha has the potential to develop into a world-class footballer. The likes of Roberto Firmino and Sadio Mane have regressed over the past year and Jurgen Klopp needs to bring in fresh attacking talent. The B...

Did £20m man make a huge error by joining Leeds instead of Tottenham?
Robin Koch ended up joining Leeds rather than Tottenham Hotspur in the summer of 2020. Perhaps the 25-year-old is now wishing that he had joined Tottenham rather than Leeds, however. The German has endured a tough time at Elland Road. He is currently out injured and has made just 18 appearances for Marcelo Bielsa’s side.
