Third Time Lucky? Leeds United on Brink of £20m Coup for ‘Very Good’ Star After Two-Year Pursuit

April 30, 2025 RAYMOND 0

Could this finally be the summer Leeds United lands Gustavo Hamer?

After a failed attempt last year, Leeds United may be poised to make their move for Sheffield United’s star midfielder, Gustavo Hamer. With a £20 million bid now more feasible thanks to their Premier League return and Hamer’s standout season, the timing could be right. The Brazilian-born playmaker, named Championship Player of the Year, has been a key figure for the Blades, and his creativity and goal-scoring ability would fill the void in Leeds’ midfield.

Former Sheffield United player Lee Hendrie believes Hamer could make the switch this summer, particularly if the Blades fall short of promotion again. After seeing a £13 million offer rejected in 2023, Leeds may finally land the midfielder if Sheffield United’s promotion hopes fail once more.

April 30, 2025 RAYMOND 0

Sheffield Wednesday have steadied themselves in the Championship after a brush with relegation, but uncertainty looms large off the pitch.

Fan frustration is intensifying, especially after reports surfaced that Chansiri rejected a takeover bid from a US-based consortium. Supporters, led by voices like FLW pundit Patrick McKenna, are adamant: Chansiri must go if the club is to move forward. As protests swell and pressure mounts, many believe the tipping point may finally be near.

April 30, 2025 RAYMOND 0

Jobe Bellingham is rapidly emerging as one of the most sought-after young talents in European football, with Real Madrid and Manchester United both expressing strong interest ahead of the summer transfer window. The 19-year-old Sunderland midfielder has impressed throughout the Championship season, drawing comparisons to his older brother Jude, who now stars for Madrid. As speculation intensifies, reports suggest top clubs are lining up offers, with Sunderland expected to demand at least £21.5 million for their prized asset. With the club chasing Premier League promotion, Bellingham’s next move could mirror his brother’s meteoric rise—and reshape the midfield of whichever European giant secures his signature.

Farke and 49ers Strike Crucial Deal as Leeds Plot Shock Move for Premier League Midfield Star

April 29, 2025 RAYMOND 0

Leeds United moved closer to securing the Championship title with a dominant 4-0 victory over Bristol City on Monday, leaving them just one game away from glory. To clinch the title, they must match or better Burnley’s result on the final day. However, while the Whites are poised to beat Plymouth on Saturday, attention is already turning to the Premier League, where survival will depend on a successful transfer window.

In the midst of this, manager Daniel Farke and the 49ers Enterprises ownership group have set their sights on Newcastle midfielder Sean Longstaff. Despite differing recruitment approaches—Farke favoring experienced players and the 49ers using data—both parties agree on the need to bring Longstaff to Elland Road this summer. With limited opportunities at Newcastle, the 27-year-old could be eager to move, and his Premier League experience could be crucial for Leeds as they look to make their mark in the top flight.

Josh Windass has been a crucial presence for Sheffield Wednesday throughout their Championship campaign, but his time at Hillsborough may be drawing to a close. Despite signing a contract extension last year, speculation about his future has intensified, especially after his father, Dean Windass, hinted that the recent game against Portsmouth could have been his final home appearance. With 75 goal contributions across six seasons, Windass has made a lasting impact, and if he does depart this summer, Sheffield Wednesday will face the significant task of finding a worthy replacement.

‘No Brainer’ Move Looms: Don Goodman Tips Piroe’s Fierce Rival to Seize Stunning Leeds United Opportunity

April 28, 2025 RAYMOND 0

The EFL Awards ceremony in London on Sunday night saw the Championship’s top performers recognized, as Leeds United’s Dan James and manager Daniel Farke were nominated for Player and Manager of the Year. Despite their impressive nominations, neither won, with Burnley’s Scott Parker and Sheffield United’s Gustavo Hamer taking home the honors. Leeds did secure a spot in the Team of the Season, with James, Jayden Bogle, and Ao Tanaka earning recognition, although players like Ethan Ampadu, Joe Rodon, and Joel Piroe were notably absent.

Looking ahead to the summer transfer window, Leeds are reportedly keeping an eye on Norwich’s Borja Sainz and Josh Sargent. After a thrilling season, Sainz has been in close competition with Joel Piroe for the Championship’s golden boot. Don Goodman believes that, given his stellar form, Sainz would be eager to make the jump to Leeds for Premier League football, calling it a “no-brainer.” However, with Leeds needing proven, battle-ready players next season, questions remain about whether Sainz’s Championship form is enough for the Premier League’s demands.

After losing out on Emi Buendia to Bayer Leverkusen in January, the club now faces another battle with the German giants — this time for Chelsea’s £16 million goalkeeper, Djordje Petrovic. As Leeds prepare for life without Illan Meslier, Leverkusen have swooped in again, making Petrovic a top priority to replace veteran Lukas Hradecky. With Xabi Alonso steering the ship, Leeds may once more find their ambitions hijacked at the final hurdle.

Nazariy Rusyn Breaks Silence on Sunderland Struggles and Hints at Shock Transfer Decision

April 27, 2025 RAYMOND 0

Nazariy Rusyn has reflected on his struggles at Sunderland, revealing he always felt like he was “playing catch-up” after joining the club without the benefit of a full pre-season. The Ukrainian forward admitted that injury setbacks and the language barrier made it hard to adapt, while a lack of trust from new manager Regis Le Bris signalled the beginning of the end for his time on Wearside. “At one point, I was even playing right-back in training,” Rusyn said, acknowledging that despite his efforts, the club had already moved on. Now on loan at Hajduk Split, Rusyn is embracing a fresh start, though he concedes a return to Sunderland is unlikely after the club insisted on a purchase option in his loan deal.

Lee Hendrie believes that now is the ideal time for Dejphon Chansiri to sell his stake in Sheffield Wednesday, as the club’s potential is being held back by financial struggles and strained fan relations.

Despite Chansiri’s desire for a high price, Hendrie feels that the right owner with the proper drive could unlock the club’s true potential and help secure a brighter future.
