Leeds Let a ‘Monster’ Slip Away for Nothing – Now He’s Worth More Than Ampadu

May 19, 2025 RAYMOND 0

Leeds United were recently forced to defend their captain, Ethan Ampadu, after a social media post by his former partner stirred controversy. The club clarified that the pair are separated and that Ampadu had no role in the post, which featured their child in a Galatasaray shirt. It’s an unfortunate distraction from what has otherwise been a brilliant season for the Welsh international, who now holds a market value of €16 million—more than double what Leeds paid for him in 2023.

Meanwhile, former Leeds defender Robin Koch, who left on a free transfer in 2024, has seen his value soar after a strong season with Eintracht Frankfurt. Now attracting interest from top Bundesliga clubs, Koch could command a fee of up to €20 million. For Leeds, it’s a stark reminder of the cost of letting a valuable asset walk away for nothing.

Junior Firpo was all smiles as Leeds United players celebrated their Championship title with an open-top bus parade on Monday, but beneath the jubilation, there was an important matter left unresolved: his contract. Despite his standout performances this season, which included four goals and ten assists, Firpo has yet to sign a new deal with the club ahead of the Premier League return.

During the parade, Firpo made a playful yet telling remark, captured on Jayden Bogle’s live Instagram video. The left-back was heard telling Leeds United chairman Paraag Marathe, “send me the ting man,” seemingly urging for a contract resolution. His comments, made in the midst of a celebration, hint that talks are ongoing, and Leeds fans will be hoping for good news, as Firpo has proven himself to be a key asset in their promotion to the top flight.

May 2, 2025 RAYMOND 0

Leeds United are set to face Plymouth Argyle on Saturday, May 3rd, with the chance to seal the Championship title and cap off a dominant 2024/25 season. Traveling over 650 miles to Home Park, jubilant Leeds fans will be hoping to witness their side hit 100 points and return to the Premier League with a bang. The Whites come into the match in stunning form, having won five straight games, including a 4-0 demolition of Bristol City that showcased their attacking firepower and defensive solidity.

For Plymouth, the mood will be one of disappointment, as their relegation to League One has already been confirmed. Despite a recent 2-1 victory over Preston North End, the final game of the season is likely to be an emotional one for the home side, as they seek to end their campaign on a positive note. Leeds, however, are hungry for more, determined to finish their season in style and prove they are ready to make a mark in the top flight once again.

Manager Daniel Farke is expected to name a largely unchanged starting lineup, with key players like Ethan Ampadu and Joe Rodon continuing in defense. The match could also offer an opportunity for emerging stars like Sam Chambers and Harry Gray to gain valuable first-team experience. With their eyes firmly on the title, Leeds will look to end the season with a dominant display and secure their place in next season’s Premier League.

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

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.
