    Graham Smyth drops major transfer update as Leeds revive interest in £30m forward

    Leeds United fans were hit with bad news on Friday night, as one of the club’s main targets joined another team. Early in the summer, it was made clear that the Whites had some targets in mind.

    Southampton’s Shea Charles and free agent duo Harry Wilson and Julian Brandt were on their radar.

    The club were able to land Wilson, who made it clear that he chose the club that made him feel wanted. He will now provide a serious attacking edge to a team that felt a bit blunt last season.

    A deal for Shea Charles has yet to materialize after weeks of trying.

    It was believed that the Whites would be patient and see out this deal, but things seem to have changed. Graham Smyth revealed the club sources have left their final offer on the table for the midfielder.

    The Saints are holding out for £30 million, and Leeds have offered around £23 million.

    On Friday night, Ajax announced that they had signed Julian Brandt.

    The news came a bit out of nowhere as initial reports suggested that the attacking midfielder preferred a move to England. Ajax were named as suitors alongside Leeds United a few weeks ago.

    And now the Dutch club have landed the 30-year old.

    The deal will have definitely disappointed some Leeds fans who had hope that the former Dortmund man would join.

    Leeds United have been evaluating other attacking options particularly since Julian Brandt didn’t sign prior to the US tour. They have several and among that number is Igor Paixão. #lufc

    Brandt’s decision now seems to have sparked another transfer move at Elland Road. Graham Smyth has mentioned that the 49ers have been assessing other targets before they went on the US tour.

    This was just in case a move for Brandt failed.

    One of those names is a Leeds target from last year; Brazilian winger Igor Paixao.

    A move for Paixao should be a no brainer

    Last season saw this Leeds team prioritize being solid defensively over being a great attacking unit.

    And that worked very well in the Whites favour, as Daniel Farke set this team up not to lose games. In attack, the club have lacked that cutting edge out wide and it has shown in games.

    There was just little to no production from Dan James and Wilfried Gnonto last season.

    Igor Paixao did not exactly have an incredible season with Marseille in France, but he still got 12 goals and six assists in all competitions. He is explosive and can take his man on in dangerous areas.

    If there is a slight chance he is available, the 49ers should take it.

    Former postman and Islamic tutor becomes next Bishop of Leeds – Premier Christian News | Headlines, Breaking News, Comment & Analysis



    Downing Street has announced that the next Bishop of Leeds will be the Bishop of Bradford, Dr Toby Howarth.

    Bishop Toby, who will take up the role in the autumn, has been acting diocesan Bishop since Rt Rev Nick Baines retired in November.

    He said he feels a “deep sense of joy” to have been called to serve a diocese he has “grown to love” since he became Area Bishop in 2014. He added that it was “Joy to be working with such a rich diversity of churches and cathedrals, schools and chaplaincies, faith and community partners, businesses, institutions and statutory services filled with people of goodwill working in often challenging contexts.” 

    “Joy to be part of such a committed and talented diocesan staff team.”

    “But also longing. Longing for us all to experience more and more of God’s abundant love in Jesus transforming our lives, our homes and our communities.”

    Bishop Toby was born in Kenya and went to school at Haverstock Comprehensive in North London. He received scholarships to study at high school and Yale University in the United States, including a summer working with Afghan refugees in northern Pakistan. On coming back to Britain, he was a research assistant for Rev Dr John Stott for two years before becoming a postman in the East End of London.

    After training in Oxford, Birmingham and Uganda, combining Christian theology with an MA in Islamic Studies at the University of Birmingham, Toby was ordained and served in an inner-city parish in Derby. He then moved to India with his family for five years, during which he did research in Islamic preaching for a PhD from the Free University of Amsterdam.

    Returning to Europe, he served with a Dutch church in Rotterdam before moving back to Birmingham where he taught Islamic studies and worked as a tutor and then at Crowther Hall in Selly Oak.

    In 2004 he took up parish work again as vicar of St Christopher’s, Springfield and was then called to become the Bishop of Birmingham’s Adviser on Inter-Faith Relations. In 2011 he became Interreligious Affairs Secretary for the Archbishop of Canterbury.

    Bishop Toby is married to Henriette, who is also ordained, and they have three adult children. He will be confirmed in the role in the autumn by the Archbishop of York at York Minster. Three services of welcome and installation will follow at Bradford Cathedral, Ripon Cathedral and Wakefield Cathedral.

    Commenting on the appointment, the Archbishop of York, the Most Rev Stephen Cottrell said: “Leeds is a remarkable Diocese, shaped by a rich history, extraordinary diversity and a deep commitment to sharing the hope of Jesus Christ in every community. Bishop Toby knows and loves this Diocese so well. I am delighted that he will lead the next chapter of the life and witness of the church in this place.

    “Bishop Toby’s passion for sharing the good news of the Gospel alongside his profound commitment to interfaith dialogue equip him to serve all those who call these communities home.”

    Liverpool have been marking the beginning of the Andoni Iraola era with a tour of the United States this summer, and are set to draw their stateside pre-season schedule to a close on Sunday, when they face Premier League rivals Leeds United at Chicago’s Solider Field.

    The Reds kicked off their friendly action with a 4-2 victory over Sunderland at Nashville’s GEODIS Park, before going on to beat Championship promotion-hopefuls Wrexham 1-0 at Yankee Stadium in New York on Wednesday night.

    Alexander Isak, Florian Wirtz and Ryan Gravenberch linked up with Iraola’s squad in Chicago prior to the Wrexham clash, but did not feature, so expect to see them – along with Jeremy Jacquet – this weekend.

    Tens of thousands of supporters are expected to watch Sunday’s clash against Leeds in-person at Chicago Field, but if you don’t have a ticket yourself, there are plenty of great spots around town to watch the game.

    Read on as Football Ground Guide takes a look at some of the Liverpool pubs in New York, and some of the best places for fans to watch the Wrexham match.

    Liverpool vs. Leeds United: Best places to watch in Chicago

    A.J. Hudson’s Public House – 3801 N Ashland Ave, Chicago, IL 60613

    A.J. Hudson’s Public House is the home of the Official Liverpool Supporters Club Chicago (OLSC Chicago), who host screenings of every Reds match on the bar’s huge array of TVs.

    This spot is well-known to sports fans in the windy city, and features a calendar for sporting events being shown live prominently on their website, so expect to see the place packed with plenty of Liverpool fans on Sunday.

    The Globe Pub – 1934 W Irving Park Rd, Chicago, IL 60613-2408

    The Globe Pub is another venue popular with sports fans in Chicago, thanks to its 15 TVs and carefully curated range of beers to suit all tastes.

    The food at the Globe is also worth checking out, with matchday staples such as curried sausage and chips being served along with steak and quesadilla.

    Mrs. Murphy & Sons Irish Bistro – 3905 N Lincoln Ave, Chicago, IL 60613

    Mrs. Murphy & Sons Irish Bistro has been a core part of Chicago’s North Centre since opening in September 2005, and is a regular, cosy spot for those that enjoy sports and live music.

    This Irish pub opens early on weekends when Liverpool are playing, and stocks an extensive range of more than 70 whiskeys, not to mention its scratch-made food and grocery full of harder-to-find Irish favourites like Barry’s Tea!

    The Albion Manor – 1480 West Webster Avenue, Chicago, IL 60614

    The Albion Manor is a classy English-style pub that welcomes sports fans on matchdays, and with Liverpool in town, expect to see plenty of Reds jerseys at the bar.

    The food and drink at the Albion is highly-rated, and visitors heading over to watch the game might want to know that brunch is served on weekends between 10am and 2pm.

    Cleo’s Bar and Grill –1935 W Chicago Ave, Chicago, IL 60622-5541

    As a specialist sports bar, Cleo’s is sure to be buzzing on matchday, and with a closing time of 4:00am on Sundays, the place will be full of energy long into the night.

    Liverpool fans looking for a vibrant atmosphere should consider watching the game here, and those hoping to make a day of it could do a lot worse than basing their evening at Cleo’s.

    Liverpool vs. Leeds United – Soldier Field, Chicago – August 2 – 3:00pm (local time)

    Liverpool squad in full

    Iraola opted to hold Isak, Wirtz and Gravenberch back from his matchday squad against Wrexham, preferring instead to give the trio more time to get up to speed with his demands before throwing them into a game, so expect to see all three take to the pitch at Soldier Field.

    New arrival Jacquet has yet to make his Liverpool debut since arriving from Rennes, sitting out the Reds’ first two friendlies as a precautionary measure, but the manager has indicated that the 20-year-old centre-back is in line to play this weekend.

    On that front, Iraola also confirmed that Joe Gomez is set to miss the start of the 2026-27 Premier League season after suffering an injury against Sunderland.

    Alexis Mac Allister and summer signing Victor Munoz are not part of the Merseysiders’ contingent in the United States having reached the World Cup 2026 final, while Virgil van Dijk, Cody Gakpo and Alisson Becker remain at the club’s Kirkby training base.

    ‘Formal enquiries’ made for Leeds ace as transfer deal draws closer

    The transfer window has started a bit slow for Leeds United fans. But they need to remember that the club managed to get 10 transfer deals across the line last summer.

    This time around, only two permanent transfers have been made ahead of training camp.

    Most Read on The Leeds Press

    Leeds added Harry Wilson on a free transfer, with the former Fulham attacking midfielder to inject some quality in the team. Tarik Muharemovic came in with a huge price tag as Pascal Struijk’s replacement.

    The club still has plans to improve upon other positions in this first team.

    Julian Brandt and Shea Charles remain targets as the Whites hope to revamp their midfield. Brandt would come in as a more attacking option, and Charles would fit in alongside Anton Stach and Ethan Ampadu.

    But there have only been talks, with nothing confirmed yet.

    Clubs make formal enquiries for Leeds United star

    Leeds United have also shown interest in adding a new striker in this window.

    Graham Smyth reported recently that the club are looking at options in the market, including Levante’s Carlos Espi. The aim is to add a younger center forward who can challenge Dominic Calvert-Lewin.

    The goalkeeping situation at Elland Road is addressed, as a deal for James Trafford draws closer.

    If the England keeper arrives at Leeds United, that gives the green light for Lucas Perri to leave. The Brazilian went on the US tour as the club were figuring out his future.

    — Isaac Johnson (@isaacjohnsonLL) July 29, 2026

    Torino have concrete interest, and have already agreed personal terms with Perri.

    Leeds have also given the go ahead for a move, with a season-long loan deal expected. But Isaac Johnson has reported that the Whites have received formal enquiries about the keeper from other clubs in recent days.

    It remains to be seen if this new interest affects the transfer deal with Torino.

    Leeds need to find a backup goalkeeper now

    With all the news about James Trafford coming in, the club will likely be without a capable backup if the Manchester City star joins.

    Alex Cairns is the only other first team goalkeeper outside Lucas Perri. And when Perri leaves, the veteran will remain as the club’s backup option ahead of the upcoming season.

    Leeds could rely on Karl Darlow in recent years, but now the Welshman is gone.

    It is going to be a complex situation that the Whites need to solve in the coming weeks. With the money set to be spent on Trafford, getting another keeper as a backup will be a tough task.

  • West Ham can replace Crysencio Summerville with Leeds United man after fresh snub

    West Ham can replace Crysencio Summerville with Leeds United man after fresh snub



    When West Ham United signed Crysencio Summerville from Leeds United in the summer of 2024, there was a feeling they had secured one of the Championship’s brightest attacking talents before he truly established himself. Despite their relegation from the Premier League, Crysencio Summerville scored or assisted 10 times in his final 19 appearances for West Ham United in all competitions. Prior to that, the Dutchman had been instrumental for Leeds IUnited despite their failure to secure promotion. After his inspired form for Leeds, he earned a deserved return to the top flight. It was a campaign packed with goals, assists, and match-winning moments. He improved last season after a mixed first year at the club but his spell in east London has ultimately proved to be relatively short-lived. Following the Hammers’ relegation from the Premier League, Summerville has now completed a lucrative move to Saudi Pro League outfit Al Hilal, leaving a sizeable hole in their attacking department. That said, the finances involved have balanced the books for West Ham, with David Ornstein of The Athletic revealing £55 million plus £5 million in add-ons had been agreed.
    Largie Ramazani would be an excellent Crysencio Summerville replacement for West Ham

    Replacing a player of his quality and stylistic profile will not be straightforward, but there is a familiar option that should already be on West Ham’s radar. Following Summerville scoring 21 and assisting 10 in 49 appearances for Leeds, they moved to sign a couple of wingers that summer. Manor Solomon replaced much of Georginio Rutter’s creativity but it was Largie Ramazani that came in as the most similar profile to the Dutchman that summer. In the end, he did not enjoy the same level of impact at Leeds that Summerville managed before him, but the Belgian winger possesses many of the same qualities that made his predecessor such an exciting talent. Direct running, outstanding acceleration, excellent close control, and a willingness to attack defenders one-on-one are all hallmarks of his game. He also likes to operate from the left to cut in and take shots off his right, scoring a fair few goals in this way during Leeds’ promotion campaign of 2024/25. Leeds recruited Ramazani from Spanish side Almeria in 2024 with the difficult task of replacing Summerville already hanging over him. That is never an easy burden for any player, particularly one adapting to the physical demands and relentless schedule of the Championship.

    All 2026/27 EFL Championship clubs ranked by size

    Football League World have ranked all of the 2026/27 clubs in the EFL Championship by size, including recently relegated Wolves and West Ham.

    Injuries and fierce competition for places also made it difficult for him to establish his best rhythm under Daniel Farke. However, there have still been enough flashes to suggest there is a highly talented footballer waiting to be unlocked in the right environment. He scored six and assisted two that season, but that came in under 800 minutes. On top of that remarkable ratio per minute, Ramazani remains capable of stretching defences with his speed and producing moments of quality in transition. Those attributes are remarkably similar to those that helped Summerville flourish for Leeds before earning his Premier League move. West Ham should therefore consider repeating the trick Leeds attempted a couple of years ago. Rather than searching for a like-for-like replacement elsewhere, they could turn to the very player Leeds identified as Summerville’s long-term successor. Jarrod Bowen remaining is an incredible boost but a winger with pace for the left flank is certainly required.
    Largie Ramazani is a wanted man this summer

    Financially, the move also appears realistic. Following Summerville’s high-value departure, West Ham should have little difficulty meeting Leeds’ asking price if the Whites are prepared to sanction a sale. Ramazani spent the last year on loan with Valencia after falling further out of favour, but he still managed eight goal involvements in just under 1500 minutes. Equally important, the Hammers are likely to be in a stronger position than several of Ramazani’s other reported admirers when it comes to personal terms. Valencia may well be keen on a reunion, but West Ham can certainly beat many of the top flight clubs in other leagues in terms of his wages. For Ramazani himself, the opportunity could be equally appealing. After struggling to cement a regular starting place at Elland Road, a fresh start on a permanent basis would allow him to showcase the talent that convinced Leeds to invest in him in the first place. West Ham would be giving him the chance to become the club’s next exciting left-sided attacker.

    As for Ramazani’s future at Elland Road, the writing appears to be very much on the wall. Leeds fans have often bemoaned Farke’s stance on the wide-man, who has seldom received ample opportunity under the German’s watch, but the reality is that they’re not a match and that’s not going to change at this stage. Indeed, Ramazani was notably left out of the travelling squad for Leeds’ ongoing pre-season tour of the United States, which shows exactly where he finds himself in Farke’s thinking.

    Who would you replace Summerville with? Comment below!

    While the player would be stepping into a vacancy created by someone whose career path has already closely mirrored his own, he has showcased that he is deserving of more of a starting berth than a rotational one. Norwich City have reportedly registered interest in Ramazani in this window, but West Ham would be better placed than any other Championship club to secure his services. It would not be a risk-free signing, but it is one that makes considerable sense. West Ham need another dynamic winger following Summerville’s departure, and Ramazani could finally fulfil the promise that once made him one of Europe’s most exciting young wide players in Spain, including scoring at the Bernabeu for Real Madrid.

    Mateo Joseph hails ‘big changes’ on Leeds return after loan and injury



    Leeds United forward Mateo Joseph has hailed big personal changes after a season on loan at RCD Mallorca. The Spain under-21s striker shared images from gym sessions in Leeds United training kit.The player said in a post that: “Small improvements these past few weeks are starting to turn into big changes, we continue to build.”Last summer Joseph told Leeds he did not feel ready to travel to Sweden for a pre-season friendly with Manchester United, then chose not to join the training camp in Germany. He later informed head coach Daniel Farke that he wanted to return to Spain, with Leeds insisting only a loan would be considered for the 22-year-old, who then had two years left on his contract.Real Betis showed interest and Mallorca also moved for him, and he joined Mallorca on a season-long loan. He made 30 appearances, scoring two goals and providing four assists.His campaign ended in April with an ACL injury that left him facing at least a few months out. He is back with Leeds this summer, his future uncertain, and is contracted until the summer of 2028.

    Leeds lose 3-2 to Wrexham as Harry Wilson impresses and youngsters catch the eye



    Leeds United lost 3-2 to Championship side Wrexham in their first pre-season run out in America, a game that highlighted shape ideas, bright debuts and selection calls for Daniel Farke.According to yorkshireeveningpost.co.uk, Joel Piroe struck a post with an early penalty then levelled with a deft backheel. Harry Wilson, on at half-time, immediately released Willy Gnonto for a big chance, Ao Tanaka then lost possession for the winner, and Wilson chipped just over in stoppage time.Farke switched from an injury-hit back three to a back four after the break. Ethan Ampadu partnered Joe Rodon, and a 4-2-3-1 of Lukas Nmecha up top, Wilson at 10 and Dan James and Gnonto wide looked a good fit.Sean Longstaff underlined that he is firmly in the midfield conversation. He impressed even before scoring, and given he began last season as a regular, he looks more than bench cover alongside likely starters Ethan Ampadu and Anton Stach.Seventeen-year-old Callum Mills was the pick of the youngsters, starting behind Piroe and threading the pass that should have brought a Gnonto goal. Full-back Jayden Lienou and centre-back Alfie Cresswell also started, while Rhys Chadwick, Ollie Pickles, Charlie Crew and Freddie Lane came on, Crew almost creating an equaliser.Dominic Calvert-Lewin has had a minor setback and is training individually on camp, and Jaka Bijol has a knee knock. Sebastiaan Bornauw was not risked because of a minor issue and Ilia Gruev is still out, leaving Piroe and Nmecha as the only natural strikers.
