Leeds United take in their second game of the Premier League season against Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium.

A big name Leeds United first team attacker has reportedly not travelled with the squad for Saturday evening’s Premier League clash against Arsenal at the Emirates.

Belgian winger Largie Ramazani joined Leeds from Almeria last August for around £10m and the attacker made 29 Championship appearances from which he scored six goals last term to help Daniel Farke’s Whites to promotion as champions.

Attacker not thought to have travelled

Leeds, though, have recently added more options to their attacking ranks including new £18m winger Noah Okafor and the YEP’s chief football writer Graham Smyth has reported that Ramazani has not travelled with the squad for Saturday’s 5.30pm kick-off against the Gunners at the Emirates.

It is not known if Ramazani has an injury but the 24-year-old made the bench for Monday night’s Premier League opener at home to Everton for which he was an unused substitute.

Okafor, meanwhile, who joined the club on Thursday for £18m from AC Milan, has hinted that he might already be involved against the Gunners.

Taking to his Instagram story on Saturday morning, Okafor shared a photograph of himself worked into the Arsenal v Leeds team graphic, usually a sign that a player is part of the squad.

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 ...
