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.

Leeds United are preparing for a busy summer transfer window as they set their sights on a new goalkeeper to replace Illan Meslier. Norwich City’s Angus Gunn is among the names on their radar, with manager Daniel Farke keen on a reunion after their time together at Carrow Road. However, according to former Manchester United scout Mick Brown, Leeds are aiming higher, targeting proven Premier League quality as they gear up for life back in the top flight. Southampton’s Aaron Ramsdale is reportedly above Gunn on their shortlist, as the club looks to make ambitious moves to strengthen their squad. Meanwhile, a potential emotional return for Kalvin Phillips is gathering momentum, though financial hurdles remain.

You Won’t Believe How Jesse Marsch’s Former Right-Hand Man Reacted as Leeds United Sealed Dramatic Promotion at Elland Road

Leeds United’s two-year exile from the Premier League is widely seen as a consequence of Jesse Marsch’s troubled tenure. Appointed by Victor Orta after Marcelo Bielsa’s departure, Marsch struggled with tactics, recruitment, and consistency, leading the club into a downward spiral. While relegation was eventually inevitable, Leeds have now completed their resurgence. A dominant 6-0 win over Stoke and a key loss for Sheffield United sealed their return to the top flight. Former assistant Rene Maric, now at Bayern Munich, marked the moment with a respectful nod to the club and its fans—while subtly reflecting on the limitations he faced under Marsch’s leadership.

Farke Faces Tough Choice: Drop £45k-a-Week Leeds Flop to Unleash Dan James’ Explosive Potential?

Today could be the day Leeds United secures their promotion back to the Premier League, as they face Stoke City at Elland Road. With a win and a Sheffield United loss, the Whites will seal their return to the top flight. After their 1-0 victory over Oxford, manager Daniel Farke may look to freshen up his lineup, particularly after a short recovery period. One key change should be the inclusion of Dan James, who has been a standout performer this season.

James, named a finalist for Championship Player of the Season, has been crucial in the final third with 12 goals, 16 ‘big chances’ created, and 9 assists in 30 starts. To give Leeds the best chance of success in such a critical match, Farke must bring James back into the starting lineup. This means dropping Brenden Aaronson, who has struggled with form, having contributed just two goals and no assists in his last 19 appearances. With James in the starting XI, Leeds’ attack would feature a dynamic trio of James, Gnonto, and Manor Solomon, giving them the edge they need to secure promotion.
