Portsmouth suffered a 2-0 home defeat to Sheffield Wednesday, with Barry Bannan and George Brown scoring early in each half. Despite several set-piece opportunities, John Mousinho’s men couldn’t find a breakthrough.
Leeds United’s remarkable Championship triumph last season, powered by Daniel Farke’s coaching and key signings like Jayden Bogle, Ao Tanaka, and Manor Solomon, set them apart as one of the standout teams. Chris Wilder, now back at Sheffield United, admitted feeling “jealous” of Leeds’ ambitious approach, praising their willingness to invest in experienced players rather than relying solely on youth. However, despite that ambition, Leeds’ recent £98 million summer spend has drawn criticism, with the team still struggling to score an open-play goal ahead of their clash with Wolves.
Liam Cooper is back on the market after leaving CSKA Sofia a year early, cutting short his two-year deal with the Bulgarian side. The 34-year-old, long troubled by injuries, had agreed to join Sheffield Wednesday, but the move collapsed after the EFL blocked it under the club’s transfer embargo. Wednesday’s financial troubles, tied to owner Dejphon Chansiri, continue to leave the team in crisis and prevented Cooper from sealing a deal with Leeds United’s rivals.
Stoke City returned to winning ways with a 1-0 victory over Birmingham City at the Bet365 Stadium, climbing back into the Championship’s top two. Bosun Lawal’s 21st-minute header proved decisive, as the Potters controlled much of the first half before withstanding heavy pressure after the break. Despite late chances for the Blues, Stoke held firm to secure their fourth win in five matches, while Birmingham slipped to 11th following a second consecutive defeat.
Harry Toffolo’s transfer saga has reached its conclusion, with the 29-year-old defender agreeing to join Charlotte FC in Major League Soccer. After being linked with Sunderland earlier this summer, Toffolo has accepted a three-year deal and is already undergoing medicals in the U.S., according to Fabrizio Romano. Sunderland ultimately chose to pursue Reinildo Mandava, leaving the door open for Charlotte to secure the former Nottingham Forest full-back. Meanwhile, Sunderland boss Régis Le Bris remains upbeat despite a winless pre-season run, praising new signings like Reinildo and hinting at Granit Xhaka taking over as team captain.
