Wrote this a few days ago Why Habib Diarra should consider a Leeds United move - and has the perfect blueprint example #lufc www.leeds-live.co.uk/sport/leeds-...

Habib Diarra's agents are pushing for a PL transfer Leeds United (not optimistic) one of a few clubs in the mix - but no new bid Diarra still sees future at a Euro big-hitter but seems unlikely to be his next move atm ➕ GK & Calvert-Lewin clarity #lufc www.leeds-live.co.uk/sport/leeds-...

There has been no offer - and therefore no agreement - with Fenerbahce regarding Illan Meslier, despite reports While Leeds United are not forcing him out, there's an acceptance Meslier will probably leave this summer New GK high on 49ers agenda #lufc www.leeds-live.co.uk/sport/leeds-...

Yesterday marked two weeks until Leeds United players report back for pre-season (July 7) This is what players can expect in their first week, which includes a trip to uni #lufc www.leeds-live.co.uk/sport/leeds-...

Jaka Bijol 🗣️ “I saw photos of the parade and they were really nice images. “It gives you some goosebumps when you see all the people are passionate about the club. "I knew before it was a big club already - and that confirms it.” #lufc www.leeds-live.co.uk/sport/leeds-...

He’s here! Jaka Bijol signs for Leeds United on a five-year contract. Fee of £15m Seriousness of Newcastle United links downplayed by those in Udine Final bits of PL paperwork were signed off today #lufc www.leeds-live.co.uk/sport/leeds-...

Great to speak with the chaps at TheSquareBall this week Their recent Gary Speed walk success means they’ve now raised more than £200,000 for charity over the years And their impact on the Leeds United community is both undeniable and unwavering #lufc www.leeds-live.co.uk/sport/leeds-...

Jaka Bijol ⏰ 🔜 Leeds United #lufc www.leeds-live.co.uk/sport/leeds-...

After the first three games, the period up to Nov 22 is crucial for Leeds United - from which point things get a bit tougher (albeit with a Christmas let-up) New year period & Feb look tricky, but the run-in looks relatively appetising as a result #lufc www.leeds-live.co.uk/sport/leeds-...

Was honoured to speak to the great Howard Wilkinson yesterday as the campaign for his Leeds United statue was launched VIP guests attended and all said the same thing; no-one is more humble, no-one is more deserving The club has shown its support #lufc www.leeds-live.co.uk/sport/leeds-...

Strasbourg's president has now confirmed that his club are willing to sell Habib Diarra, as we @leeds-live.co.uk reported earlier this month Player and his camp's intentions still seem a possible hurdle + Leeds were not optimistic about transfer #lufc www.leeds-live.co.uk/sport/leeds-...

Leeds United's stance on renaming Elland Road amid expansion plans Some supporters have shared concern about such a possibility amid questions over project funding #lufc www.leeds-live.co.uk/sport/leeds-...

Talking to Japanese media, Ao Tanaka has spoken about being 'so happy' about his fan chant He also spoke about an office chat with Daniel Farke, his Leeds United form - and, er, the 'Prison Break' prison near to Thorp Arch 😅 #lufc www.leeds-live.co.uk/sport/leeds-...

Lukas Nmecha on ex-Wolfsburg teammate Josuha Guilavogui’s influence on him joining Leeds United “He said it’s a massive club and if I get the opportunity I should definitely do it. “He said the fans were crazy & the boys are good. He gave a really good first impression” #lufc

🤝✅ Leeds United unveil attacker Lukas Nmecha as their first signing of the summer Fought off interest from Premier League rivals to land him Will arrive July 1 on an initial two-year deal, once Wolfsburg contract expires #lufc www.leeds-live.co.uk/sport/leeds-...

🚨 Jaka Bijol has agreed to a move to Leeds United Leeds growing in confidence that a deal with Udinese can be struck, with talks ongoing As reported yday morning, a fee of around £17m should do it Finalisation of personal terms appear imminent #lufc www.leeds-live.co.uk/sport/leeds-...

Leeds United remain in ongoing transfer discussions with Udinese over Jaka Bijol No breakthrough found yet Italian media this afternoon suggesting that an initial bid has been rebuffed #lufc www.leeds-live.co.uk/sport/leeds-...

Contacts in Italy state that AC Milan are set on selling Theo Hernandez, regardless if Atlético Madrid agreement goes through or not So - in theory - opens up an XI pathway for Junior Firpo, but true extent of Milan interest not clear at this stage #lufc www.leeds-live.co.uk/sport/leeds-...

Reports of £6.75m bid for Mateo Joseph from Real Betis are - at this stage - premature But the Spanish club appear to be ramping up their interest - so wouldn't be surprised if things change #lufc www.leeds-live.co.uk/sport/leeds-...

"I started playing quite a bit and then went from everything to nothing. It was a blow" Mateo Joseph has spoken candidly about losing his starting spot to Joel Piroe earlier last season Real Betis and Strasbourg are admirers, regardless #lufc www.leeds-live.co.uk/sport/leeds-...

Strasbourg willing to sell Habib Diarra, but may want more on top of £22m proposal Sticking point seems to be the player's end - in any case, Leeds United more confident on Jaka Bijol Udinese CB is open to move to PL #lufc www.leeds-live.co.uk/sport/leeds-...

Leeds United might have to make some tough sale decisions this summer given the PSR limitations There may have to be sacrifices for the greater cause and Mateo Joseph could be one of them if another bid is tabled - albeit with an air of reluctance #lufc www.leeds-live.co.uk/sport/leeds-...
