Leeds Launch Bold £20m Swoop for Striker Set to Become Farke’s Undroppable Weapon

Leeds United are stepping up their summer business with a bold move for Newcastle striker Callum Wilson, a player described as “incredible” and seen as a guaranteed starter under Daniel Farke next season. With Premier League survival the top priority, the club is targeting experienced, proven talent to avoid the fate that befell Ipswich, Leicester, and Southampton last season. Wilson, whose contract at Newcastle is set to expire, is attracting interest from several clubs—but Leeds are confident that the promise of regular game time could tip the scales in their favour. While his injury record raises valid concerns, a fully fit Wilson could be the difference-maker Leeds need in their top-flight return.

Shock Clause Uncovered in Eliezer Mayenda Deal as Sunderland’s £21.4m Transfer Spree Raises Eyebrows

Sunderland’s promotion to the Premier League has triggered a cascade of financial commitments, beginning with a €500,000 bonus payment to French club Sochaux as part of the deal for Eliezer Mayenda. Signed in the summer of 2023, Mayenda was viewed as a high-potential talent plucked from a financially stricken Sochaux side. Though his first season in England was quiet, the young forward emerged as a key figure in Sunderland’s successful promotion push, cementing his place in the club’s future plans. With a 20% sell-on clause also in Sochaux’s favor, the French club stands to benefit further if Mayenda’s trajectory continues upward.
