Leeds United transfer latest: Whites exercise recall option to allow Djed Spence to return to Premier League side Tottenham Hotspur — Yorkshire Post 4/1/24

LEEDS UNITED have announced that right-back Djed Spence has returned to Premier League outfit Tottenham Hotspur after his season-long loan deal at Elland Road was terminated early.

By Leon Wobschall

Leeds exercised a recall clause in the contract, allowing Spence to head back to Spurs.

A statement read: “Leeds United can confirm that Djed Spence has returned to Tottenham Hotspur, bringing his loan spell with the club to an end.

"We would like to thank Djed for his efforts while at Elland Road and we wish him well for his future career.”

Spence, 23, who started his professional career at Middlesbrough after a previous spell at Fulham’s academy, has struggled to make an impact at Leeds and made just seven appearances.

After signing towards the end of the summer window, Spence soon hurt his knee in training in mid-September.

Spence, who excelled in a season-long loan at Nottingham Forest in 2021-22 - in a campaign which saw the East Midlanders promoted to the top-flight - had made his debut late on from the bench in the home game with Sheffield Wednesday on September 2 before the first international break of 2023-24.

The Londoner returned to training in November after injury and made his first-team return from the bench in the 2-0 win at Blackburn Rovers on December 2.

Spence went onto start five games last month, with his final appearance for the club being in the 1-0 reverse at West Brom on December 29.

Huge Leeds United transfer boost as 'personal terms agreed' with £17m midfielder after Sean Longstaff — YEP 16/7/25

By Kyle Newbould Leeds United appear to be zoning in on midfield reinforcements with just over one month until their Premier League return. Leeds United appear to have taken a big step forward in their pursuit of Anton Stach amid reports the midfielder has agreed personal terms on a move to Elland Road. The YEP exclusively reported on interest in Stach almost three weeks ago, with Leeds identifying the ball-winning midfielder as a prime candidate to add the kind of physicality and experience Daniel Farke desires. The 6ft 4ins German international is considered one of the best ball-winners in the Bundesliga and is expected to attract interest from several possible rivals. Leeds missed out on £47million pair Habib Diarra and Noah Sadiki to Sunderland but still saw the Hoffenheim midfielder and Newcastle United’s Sean Longstaff as viable transfer targets, with a £15m agreement reached in principle for the latter this week. And now Sky Germany’s Florian Plettenberg has provided an ...

by Kwadwo Hemeng Leeds United have had some impressive results in pre-season so far. In three games, they have failed to lose and have racked up impressive scorelines. Thursday was no different. While the first team is preparing for the next friendly against Villarreal, the U21s side, with a host of first team stars, thrashed Norweigian side Lyn 1896 10-2 in a pre-season friendly this afternoon. There were some surprising names on the scoresheet – Patrick Bamford scored, Sam Greenwood netted a brace and Joe Gelhardt scored four goals in the game. This is the second friendly the trio have featured in; they played in the friendly against Hartlepool last weekend. The trio did not make the trip to Germany, as Daniel Farke has instructed them to find new clubs. Patrick Bamford was informed after a long personal conversation with the Leeds boss. Farke then revealed this crucial information right after the club’s first game against Manchester United. According to the German coach, h...

by Kwadwo Hemeng Leeds United are playing in the Premier League next season. But with the transfer window coming up, there are still some questions about the squad that need to be answered. Starting striker Joel Piroe has been first choice over the last two seasons. And he has delivered, scoring over 35 goals. But in recent weeks, Leeds’ rumoured moves show that there may be doubt over his ability heading into the Premier League. Over the last month, the club have been linked with George Hirst, and more recently Celtic star Daizen Maeda. Wrexham are also said to be very interested in signing Patrick Bamford this summer, so Leeds will definitely sign a new striker. TEAMtalk are reporting that Leeds United have drawn up a shortlist of strikers for the summer. It includes two current Premier League players, and a former Tottenham star. But surprisingly, the trio have just 19 career goals in the competition. Whichever of them the club decides to sign will have a big say in survivin...
