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.

With promotion to the Premier League secured, Leeds United now face a pressing question: who will step up and score in the top flight? Joel Piroe’s 19-goal tally stands out, yet doubts linger about his ability to lead the line against elite opposition. Meanwhile, Brenden Aaronson’s place in the squad continues to divide opinion, his tireless work rate contrasting with a lack of end product. In response, Leeds have turned their attention to Norwich City’s Borja Sainz—a versatile attacker with 17 goals to his name this season. His ability to operate across the front line could make him a valuable addition, but Leeds must act fast if they want to land their latest target.

Danny Röhl has praised Michael Ihiekwe for his impressive resurgence this season, describing his progress as something that brings a “smile in his heart.” After a tough spell out of the squad earlier in the campaign, Ihiekwe seized an opportunity following injuries to other players and has since played 14 consecutive 90-minute matches. His leadership was further recognized when he captained Sheffield Wednesday during their midweek draw with Blackburn Rovers. Ihiekwe’s performances have earned him national recognition, with the 32-year-old nominated for the EFL Championship Player of the Month award for March after scoring two crucial goals in recent matches. Röhl highlighted Ihiekwe’s growth, noting how he has adapted to the team’s style and continues to develop, regardless of age.
