Former Leeds United manager Neil Redfearn believes midfielder Sean Longstaff will prove to be a strong addition at Elland Road, having played a role in the player’s early development at Newcastle United. Redfearn worked with Longstaff during his time as Newcastle’s under-21 coach and briefly as caretaker first-team manager in 2019. He has followed the midfielder’s career closely and feels the move to Leeds this summer came at the right time. Longstaff’s Newcastle Struggles Opened the Door Re

Leeds United midfielder Ao Tanaka has revealed his personal choice for the club’s Player of the Season award from last year—and it wasn’t Dan James. James officially claimed the accolade after an impressive campaign, but Tanaka believes centre-back Joe Rodon was the true standout performer for Leeds. Joe Rodon’s Impressive Season at Leeds Rodon joined Leeds from Tottenham Hotspur in a £10 million move last summer after spending the previous season on loan at Elland Road. The Welsh internatio

Massimo Cellino was back in the news recently regaling the Daily Mail with the story of how he 'accidentally' sacked Brian McDermott. The story itself sounds rather far-fetched, but if you were familiar with Leeds around the time of him taking over, you'd be well aware of the Italians' less than conventional reputation. If I was being diplomatic I'd describe him as 'quirky', but if I were to forgo beating around the bush, 'fucking lunatic' would be about right. I thought I'd have been happy nev

Leeds United’s struggles in front of goal continued at the weekend as they suffered a 1-0 defeat to Fulham in the Premier League. Gabriel Gudmundsson’s stoppage-time own goal proved the difference at Craven Cottage, leaving pundits and fans increasingly worried about the team’s lack of attacking threat. The late goal came when Gudmundsson misjudged a corner, with the ball deflecting off his head and past goalkeeper Karl Darlow. Despite a disciplined defensive performance, Leeds once again faile

Leeds United suffered one of the cruellest defeats of the Premier League weekend after Gabriel Gudmundsson scored a bizarre last-minute own goal against Fulham on Saturday. The Whites looked set to secure a valuable point at Craven Cottage, with Daniel Farke’s tactics frustrating the home side throughout the game. Leeds had battled hard, created chances, and more than deserved something from the match. Given their poor record in London in recent seasons, a draw would have been seen as a solid r

Former Manchester United midfielder Nicky Butt has criticised manager Ruben Amorim for his handling of young talent Kobbie Mainoo, insisting the club has a “top, top player” who hasn’t been given the respect he deserves. Mainoo, 20, has struggled for regular game time this season, featuring just twice in the Premier League as a substitute against Burnley and Manchester City. His limited involvement has sparked debate over Amorim’s selection decisions and the midfielder’s future at Old Trafford.

Crystal Palace have been hit with a new sanction by UEFA after their controversial demotion from the Europa League to the Europa Conference League earlier this season. The Eagles, who earned a European spot by winning the FA Cup, were moved down a tier due to breaches of UEFA’s multi-club ownership rules. Nottingham Forest took their place in the Europa League following the ruling. CAS Upholds Demotion Palace appealed the decision, but the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) upheld UEFA’s v

In the world of professional football, few stories capture attention like a high-profile doping case. Mykhailo Mudryk, the talented Ukrainian winger who made a blockbuster move from Shakhtar Donetsk to Chelsea in January 2023, is currently embroiled in such a controversy. Suspended since late 2024 after testing positive for the banned substance Meldonium, Mudryk faces an uncertain future with potential bans looming. However, according to an exclusive BBC Sport interview with Nizaar Kinsella, ke

Graham Potter finds himself under mounting pressure at West Ham United after a disastrous start to the Premier League season. The Hammers’ new manager, brought in to steady the ship and usher in a fresh era in January last season, is already facing serious questions over his future with results failing to convince either supporters or the club’s hierarchy. Potter’s tenure has been marked by flat performances and a lack of cutting edge in both boxes. One win in the first four games, on top of an

Sunderland’s deadline day signing Bertrand Traoré may not have made his debut yet, but the impact of his arrival is already being felt — both on Wearside and back in Amsterdam. The 30-year-old winger, who joined the Black Cats from Ajax in a cut-price move, has received glowing praise from former teammate Mike Godts, who admitted he “misses” the Burkina Faso international’s presence at the Johan Cruyff Arena. 🗣️ Godts: “I Do Miss Him” Speaking to ESPN NL, Ajax winger Mike Godts reflected on

Sunderland’s return to the Premier League has been marked by resilience, tactical discipline, and a string of standout individual performances — none more so than that of goalkeeper Robin Roefs. Following a man-of-the-match display in the Black Cats’ goalless draw against Crystal Palace, club legend Marco Gabbiadini has heaped praise on the Dutch stopper, calling his early form “really impressive.” 🧤 Roefs: Calm, Composed, and Crucial Roefs, signed from NEC Nijmegen over the summer, has quic

Aston Villa travel to Sunderland this weekend still searching for their first Premier League win of the season, with Unai Emery juggling a growing injury list. Villa are winless in their last four league games and are yet to score a single goal in the top flight, a frustrating run that has raised questions about their cutting edge in attack. There was at least some encouragement in midweek as they found the net in the Carabao Cup against Brentford, but Emery knows his side must quickly transla
