Alan Shearer drools over 25-yr-old Leeds star’s performance against Croatia
England managed to pick up a narrow 1-0 win over Croatia in the European Championships and Raheem Sterling scored the match-winning goal for the Three Lions. Gareth Southgate’s men seemed in reasonable control throughout the contest despite not managing to put up a spectacular performance. However, some of the individual displays certainly caught the attention. Manchester City winger Raheem Sterling put on a splendid display for his country. Another player who managed to deliver an outstanding performance for England yesterday was the Leeds United midfielder, Kalvin Phillips. The 25-year-old harassed the Croatian midfield with his relentless pressing throughout the game. Phillips was excellent defensively as well and he managed to shield the back four expertly. Furthermore, the m...
Report suggests Leeds United have strong interest in 26-yr-old defender
Leeds United have been linked with a move for the Huesca defender Javi Galan recently. According to Radio Huesca, the Premier League side have a strong interest in the 26-year-old left-back and they are prepared to pay up for the defender who has a release clause of around €4 million. Apparently, Sevilla are keen on signing the player as well but the Spanish outfit are reluctant to trigger the clause. Galan has had an impressive season in the Spanish league this past year and Leeds could certainly use a quality attacking full-back like him next year. With Ezgjan Alioski set to leave the club when his contract expires, signing a quality left-back will be a top priority for the Whites. Marcelo Bielsa needs someone who will come in and make an immediate impact. Galan is quite impressive ...
Leeds and Newcastle in the race to sign €15m-rated ace with 10 goal contributions
Leeds United and Newcastle United are interested in signing the Brest defender Romain Perraud. According to L’Equipe (via GFFN), Southampton are apparently leading the chase to sign the 23-year-old who could cost around €15 million this summer.

The French outfit are under no pressure to sell the 23-year-old and they can afford to demand a premium. Southampton need to sign a quality replacement for Ryan Bertrand and Perraud certainly fits the bill. Leeds could definitely use a quality left-back signing especially with Ezgjan Alioski set to leave the club when his contract expires later this summer. Meanwhile, Newcastle Unite...
Euro 2020: Gareth Southgate invites Bukayo Saka, 24 others
Gareth Southgate hit back at the critics after selecting Trent Alexander-Arnold for England’s Euro 2020 squad as the Three Lions boss admitted Harry Maguire is a doubt for the opener against Croatia. Alexander-Arnold had to endure a nervous wait before learning he had made the cut after spending much of the season out of favour with Southgate. The 22-year-old was left out of Southgate’s England squad for their World Cup qualifiers in March. But Alexander-Arnold’s strong end to the season with Liverpool convinced Southgate to restore the right-back to his squad. Alexander-Arnold responded to his selection by tweeting: “Always believe in yourself. Silence the doubters.” Irritated by the inaccurate pre-announcement reports that he would drop Alexander-Arnold, Southgate insisted he never lost ...
Report suggests Leeds could look to snap up 27-yr-old from La Liga outfit this summer

The midfielder was on loan at West Bromwich Albion during the second half of this season and it seems that his performances have caught the attention of the Elland Road outfit as per Faro de Vigo.

The midfielder’s contract with Celta Vigo expires in the summer of 2023 and it would be fair to assume that the Spanish side will have reasonable demands for him. Leeds could definitely use more d...

Sam Allardyce: Premier League is becoming boring
Press Association Sam Allardyce has warned that the Premier League is in danger of becoming boring because teams have been “brainwashed” into using the same playing style. The English top-flight has opened up to different tactical approaches over the last decade, with an influx of coaches coming from elsewhere in Europe. However the West Brom manager fears coaches are being prevented from sticking to their preferred style and that the league is suffering as a result. He said to Sky Sports: “What’s the point of playing out from the back against Man City and Liverpool, the best high-pressing team in this country. If they drop off, you play out from the back. Where’s the space? Exploit the space. I tried to get the players to think about that. It’s a simple game that’s been complicated far to...
