Pierre Ekwah’s future has been thrown into uncertainty after Saint-Étienne reportedly activated a £5.1 million buyout clause without fully informing him or his representatives. The 23-year-old, who impressed during a loan spell from Sunderland last season, is now said to be at odds with the French club and has yet to return to first-team training. Talks have broken down, with the club allegedly threatening to demote him to the reserves amid a growing stand-off.

Shock Exit? Danny Rohl Stuns Sheffield Wednesday Squad with Departure Bombshell as Leicester Circle

June 30, 2025 RAYMOND 0

Danny Rohl has made the bold decision to leave Sheffield Wednesday, informing senior players of his exit after nearly two years at the helm. With Leicester City and Brentford showing strong interest, his departure seems all but confirmed. Despite guiding the Owls to a stable 12th-place finish last season and winning praise for navigating the chaos of Dejphon Chansiri’s ownership, Rohl had not returned for pre-season—fueling speculation that a move was imminent. As Wednesday prepare to promote assistant Henrik Pedersen, Rohl’s next chapter appears set to unfold at a higher level.

Even Pricier Than Hamer? Sunderland Unearth ‘Sensational’ Talent in Stunning Twist

May 19, 2025 RAYMOND 0

Régis Le Bris stands on the brink of history. With Sunderland poised for a long-awaited return to the Premier League, the Frenchman could become the manager who ends an eight-year exile from the top flight. But between him and glory looms a dangerous Sheffield United side, freshly rejuvenated under Chris Wilder. The stage is set at Wembley, where two ambitious clubs—and two sensational midfielders—will clash in a battle that could define their futures.

All eyes will be on Jobe Bellingham, the 19-year-old prodigy whose stock has soared to £22 million. His rise mirrors Sunderland’s own resurgence, and while Gustavo Hamer brings proven pedigree and a Player of the Season award to the table, it’s Bellingham who could be the difference-maker. If Sunderland fall short, they may lose their brightest spark to the European elite. But if they triumph, it may mark the beginning of a new era—one led by youth, vision, and the bold leadership of Le Bris.

Leeds United Plot Shock Summer Move for Towering 6ft 5 Paraguayan Goalkeeper

May 12, 2025 RAYMOND 0

Leeds United are reportedly eyeing a summer move for 24-year-old Paraguayan goalkeeper Orlando Gill, who plays for San Lorenzo in Argentina. While the club has been linked with higher-profile targets like Sam Johnstone of Wolves and Liverpool’s Caoimhin Kelleher, Gill offers a more affordable and lesser-known option. Despite his relative obscurity, Gill has impressed in Argentina with nine clean sheets in 18 appearances, showcasing his potential.

With Illan Meslier’s inconsistency and 34-year-old Karl Darlow not seen as a long-term solution, Leeds are prioritizing a new goalkeeper. The club is expected to spend big this summer, with reports suggesting that manager Daniel Farke could have up to £150 million to strengthen the squad. While Johnstone and Kelleher would bring proven Premier League experience, Gill’s lack of exposure to top-flight football could mean a slower transition, positioning him more as a second-choice option for now.
