Daniel Farke’s Europe stance clear but rest of transfer window will determine Leeds United's true ceiling — Leeds Live 21/8/26

-
Leeds United have made cracking transfer progress so far but what happens next is key to their season aims Isaac Johnson Leeds United reporter Daniel Farke wants Leeds United fans to dream but says he himself must remain realistic. Some are tipping Leeds with an outside shot of European football but the noise inside of the club is different. Leeds need at least two more seasons to operate as a Premier League regular, says chairman Paraag Marathe, and so another season of survival is a success. Farke on Thursday branded the campaign as a “dangerous” one. He and club chiefs are aware of ‘second-season syndrome’ where the promotion juices have ebbed away and teams are at risk of falling backwards, as what happened under the great Marcelo Bielsa. “Do you know how often we have played in the last 25 years in Europe? Zero times,” Farke underlined. “How often have we finished in the top half of the table in 25 years? One time. “Last season was our second-best finish in the Premier...

Statement as Leeds United confirm second huge contract boost ahead of Nottingham Forest trip — YEP 20/8/26

-
By Kyle Newbould Another key Leeds United squad member has put pen to paper on a new contract. Leeds United full-back Jayden Bogle has signed a new four-year contract with the club. Bogle becomes the second Leeds player inside 24 hours to pen fresh terms, with Joe Rodon also putting pen to paper on a four-year deal on Wednesday evening. The pair will continue to play alongside one another at Elland Road until 2030. Leeds signed Bogle for £5million from Sheffield United in 2024 and the defender made an instant impact with 44 league appearances for Daniel Farke’s 100-point, title-winning side. The 26-year-old registered six goals and four assists to earn a place in the Championship Team of the Season and the PFA Team of the Year. Bogle thrived with the attacking freedom of a wing-back role in the Premier League last season and proved himself a top-flight defender. Leeds say they are ‘proud’ to see the right-back extend his stay at the club in another boost ahead of Saturday’s t...

Why Joe Rodon's Leeds United contract decision was a 'no-brainer' as Whites star 'happiest I have been' — YEP 20/8/26

-
By Kyle Newbould Joe Rodon’s decision to sign a new contract with Leeds United was a ‘no-brainer’ with the defender as happy as he’s ever been during his career. Rodon put pen to paper on a new four-year deal on Wednesday to keep him at Elland Road until 2030. The centre-back has been virtually ever-present in Daniel Farke’s side since first arriving in 2023, initially on loan from Tottenham Hotspur. After 46 Championship and play-off appearances in that debut campaign Leeds committed to spending £10million to get Rodon in permanently. He started all 46 league games during the Whites’ 2024/25 title triumph and featured in 35 of 38 Premier League fixtures last season. Rodon has missed just six league games across three years at Leeds, cementing himself as a favourite not only of Farke’s but of every Whites fan. Last week, the 28-year-old was named as one of four vice-captains to deputise for club skipper Ethan Ampadu. “I am delighted,” Rodon told LUTV after signing his contrac...
