May 1, 2025 RAYMOND 0

Leeds United are set to compete with Everton for the signing of Newcastle United midfielder Sean Longstaff, who is valued at £10m. Longstaff, 27, has made over 200 appearances for the Magpies but has struggled for regular first-team action this season due to competition from Sandro Tonali, Bruno Guimaraes, and Joelinton. With just over a year left on his contract, Longstaff could be looking for a move, and Leeds are reportedly interested in securing his services. Former United midfielder David Prutton believes Longstaff would be a solid addition to Leeds, praising his experience and work ethic.

Meanwhile, Leeds are also said to be tracking former Tottenham defender Eric Dier, who is set to leave Bayern Munich after just one season. Despite interest from several Premier League clubs, Dier is reportedly close to joining Ligue 1 side AS Monaco. As Leeds prepare for a busy summer transfer window, they are focused on strengthening their squad following their promotion to the Premier League.

All Eyes on Leeds: Positives Mount, Pressure Builds

Leeds United’s promotion to the Premier League marks the beginning of an exciting new chapter for the club, with fans having plenty of reasons to be optimistic about a sustainable future. A key sign of progress is the redevelopment of Elland Road, with the Leeds City Council approving negotiations for the sale of land to the club to expand the Don Revie and John Charles stands. The expansion, which would increase the stadium’s capacity to 53,000, is a long-planned project now taking tangible steps forward. Despite the higher costs involved, the club aims to raise £100 million to complete the redevelopment.

Promotion has also had a significant financial impact, with Red Bull, Leeds’ main sponsor, seeing its deal jump into the top 10 most lucrative shirt sponsorships in the Premier League. Adidas is expected to return to paying £10 million per year for the club’s kit deal, and the increase in television revenue is striking. Leeds are set to earn a guaranteed £200 million in broadcast income over the next three years, even if relegated after just one season. These financial gains, along with the club’s record-breaking commercial income, are putting Leeds in a stronger position to compete in the Premier League while maintaining their long-term goals of sustainability and growth.

Third Time Lucky? Leeds United on Brink of £20m Coup for ‘Very Good’ Star After Two-Year Pursuit

April 30, 2025 RAYMOND 0

Could this finally be the summer Leeds United lands Gustavo Hamer?

After a failed attempt last year, Leeds United may be poised to make their move for Sheffield United’s star midfielder, Gustavo Hamer. With a £20 million bid now more feasible thanks to their Premier League return and Hamer’s standout season, the timing could be right. The Brazilian-born playmaker, named Championship Player of the Year, has been a key figure for the Blades, and his creativity and goal-scoring ability would fill the void in Leeds’ midfield.

Former Sheffield United player Lee Hendrie believes Hamer could make the switch this summer, particularly if the Blades fall short of promotion again. After seeing a £13 million offer rejected in 2023, Leeds may finally land the midfielder if Sheffield United’s promotion hopes fail once more.

Farke and 49ers Strike Crucial Deal as Leeds Plot Shock Move for Premier League Midfield Star

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.

Guardiola’s Favorite, 39-Year-Old Manager, Shockingly Sets Sights on Rangers – Is a Move to Ibrox Imminent?

April 28, 2025 RAYMOND 0

A former Premier League manager is reportedly eager to take over at Rangers and is awaiting a call from the club’s hierarchy about a potential move to Ibrox. This comes after a difficult weekend for the club, as Celtic clinched their fourth consecutive Scottish Premiership title, while Rangers were held to a 2-2 draw by St. Mirren. Interim manager Barry Ferguson expressed disappointment in his team’s performance, pointing out that their inability to maintain leads has been a major factor in their failure to challenge for the title.

As Rangers look for a permanent manager, former Southampton boss Russell Martin is said to be highly interested in the job. Despite his struggles at Southampton, Martin has earned praise from Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola, who lauded the tactical approach he implemented with Southampton, calling it a “good game to learn as a manager.” This endorsement highlights Martin’s potential, making him a strong candidate for the job at Ibrox.

‘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.

Graham Potter’s frustration with his West Ham squad was impossible to miss after yesterday’s collapse. Echoing the harsh words of striker Niclas Füllkrug, Potter seemed to blame certain players for switching off at a crucial moment — a lapse that cost them yet another point. As Brighton’s winning corner sailed in, several West Ham players could be seen turning away from the ball, a mistake no coach can easily forgive. “I’m sick of positives,” Potter admitted afterward, a rare moment of raw honesty that laid bare just how deep the cracks are running at the club.

Bayer Leverkusen Plot Second Ruthless Hijack of Leeds United Target in £16m Goalkeeper Chase

Leeds United’s transfer frustrations could be set to repeat themselves. After losing out on Emi Buendia to Bayer Leverkusen in January, the club now faces another battle with the German giants — this time for Chelsea’s £16 million goalkeeper, Djordje Petrovic. As Leeds prepare for life without Illan Meslier, Leverkusen have swooped in again, making Petrovic a top priority to replace veteran Lukas Hradecky. With Xabi Alonso steering the ship, Leeds may once more find their ambitions hijacked at the final hurdle.

Leeds United on High Alert as ‘Fantastic’ Premier League Star Emerges as Dream £10m Signing for The 49ers

April 27, 2025 RAYMOND 0

Leeds United are set to prioritize replacing Illan Meslier this summer, with the French goalkeeper expected to depart after six years at Elland Road. Despite making 214 appearances since joining on loan from Lorient in 2019, Meslier has struggled for form, leading to his recent drop from the starting XI under Daniel Farke. As his contract runs until June 2026, it’s widely believed that a fresh start is needed for both Meslier and the club.

With Leeds linked to several potential replacements, four English international goalkeepers have emerged as targets, including Nick Pope, Aaron Ramsdale, and Sam Johnstone. Johnstone, currently at Wolves, is being touted as a strong contender, with his Premier League experience and international caps making him a solid choice to take over as Leeds’ new number one. However, questions remain about whether he would be a significant improvement over Meslier, whose form could bounce back. If Leeds are to stay competitive in the Premier League, they may need to invest heavily in a proven goalkeeper or turn their attention to Europe for a more reliable option.
