Jack Harrison completes move to New England Revolution — Leedsunited.com 26/7/26

-
Winger departs club. Leeds United can confirm Jack Harrison has moved to MLS side New England Revolution on a permanent transfer for an undisclosed fee. The 29-year-old winger initially joined on a season-long loan from Manchester City for the 2018/19 EFL Championship season where he went on to score four and assist three times. The following campaign, Harrison rejoined on loan and went on to play a key part in helping Marcelo Bielsa’s side to promotion, lifting the Championship trophy after converting six and setting up his teammates for eight goals. After the historic return to the topflight which Jack had played such a key role in, the Englishman returned on a temporary basis once more to LS11 for the 2020/21 campaign. A highly productive season saw him score and assist eight times apiece as the Whites secured an impressive ninth-placed finish in the Premier League, after a 16-year absence. In the 2021 summer transfer window, Harrison was officially announced as a Leeds ...

Never leave Written by: Chris McMenamy “If you don’t want to be here, fuck off,” Liam Cooper told the Elland Road dressing room in the wake of Leeds United’s relegation from the Premier League. The club captain wouldn’t have expected so many of his teammates to take him at his word, but United soon found themselves with a squad thinning faster than Frank Lampard’s hair. The summer of 2023 began with Andrea Radrizzani selling the club to his minority shareholding partner — 49ers Enterprises — but not after trying to use Elland Road as collateral in his short-lived purchase of Sampdoria. First-team players left in their droves, Daniel Farke was hired as manager and most Leeds fans didn’t really know what was next. In the midst of it all, Ethan Ampadu became the first signing of the Farke-49ers era — though at that point nobody knew if it would be an era or a summer fling. With the benefit of hindsight, not only was this an instrumental transfer in the future of Leeds United, bu...

James Trafford gives Leeds United green light for transfer despite Newcastle negotiation — Leeds Live 23/7/26

-
Manchester City's James Trafford has emerged as a priority target for Leeds United as Daniel Farke tries to sign a new goalkeeper this summer Kieran King Football Writer Leeds United are in talks with Manchester City over a move for James Trafford. The Whites are in the market for a new goalkeeper after losing Karl Darlow, who ended last season as No.1 to Manchester United on a free transfer, and Illan Meslier after he joined Arsenal. Trafford, 23, has since emerged as Leeds' top target for that position, and the club is now in talks to sign him, according to The Athletic. It's added that, despite strong interest from Newcastle United, the City shot-stopper is leaning towards a move to Elland Road. Newcastle wanted to sign Trafford last summer before he decided to re-join City from Burnley. He returned to the Etihad Stadium under the impression he would be first choice following Ederson's move to Fenerbahce. However, the addition of Gianluigi Donnarumma late...

Leeds United secure youngster to new contract ahead of US pre-season trip with senior squad — YEP 21/7/26

-
By Graham Smyth Leeds United have secured a highly-rated youngster to a new three-year deal ahead of his involvement with the senior squad on their US pre-season trip. Jayden Lienou has had a taste of men’s football with both club and country in the last few months. The 18-year-old joined Leeds from Manchester City last summer and was heavily involved with the Under-21s last season. But towards the end of the campaign Daniel Farke put the promising teenager on the bench for the games against Tottenham Hotspur and Brighton, after injury ruled out first-choice left-back Gabriel Gudmundsson. Lienou was then called up by Craig Bellamy for the Wales post-season camp and friendlies against Ghana and Romania. The left-sided defender earned rave reviews from Bellamy and was on the bench as an unused substitute for the Ghana game. Leeds have announced that Lienou, who has been pictured in first team training from the outset of pre-season this summer and is expected to be on the flight t...

Inside Leeds United's pre-season tour with Japan decision, Brazil stress test and Under 21 group — YEP 21/7/26

-
By Graham Smyth Leeds United's 65-strong travelling party will fly to America this week to begin a pre-season tour with '10-fold' the logistical requirements of the last two summer training camps. The initial conversations about the summer 2026 pre-season tour took place back at the start of December. The club's focus was then dominated by the hectic Christmas fixture list and preparing for the January transfer window, but at the same time they were working through hypotheticals on the destination for pre-season. Europe, America and Asia were all in the conversation. In January the offers started coming through to the commercial team at Elland Road. First team operations manager Matt Robertshaw told the YEP that while the commercial considerations are in the mix, football comes first. He said: "You've got a picture of what the football side preference would be and then you've also got a picture of any potential commercial offers that look good options...

Tarik Muharemovic’s long road to Leeds United — Square Ball 20/7/26

Please be great Written by: Chris McMenamy Fabio Grosso spent the first two months of his reign as Sassuolo manager in summer 2024 tinkering with a young, inexperienced squad that had undergone a serious overhaul after relegation from Serie A. Unlike some, Grosso’s bosses weren’t stupid enough to allow their stars to leave on loan, but most of the team thought they were too good for Serie B, having been demoted mostly because star player Domenico Berardi tore his Achilles tendon with ten games remaining. As a result, they were left with a heap of returning loanees, some youth players and, in Berardi, a talisman with one working foot — so it’s no wonder they won only one of their first four games. Grosso struggled to settle on a defensive pairing, as evidenced by a 4-1 thumping at home to Cremonese before the first international break. New signing Tarik Muharemovic, on loan from Juventus, sat on the bench throughout that game, watching on as the more experienced members of the t...
