Le Havre try out Carole - Sky Sports 2/7/08

French outfit look at Leeds winger
Newly-promoted Le Havre have handed a trial to Leeds United's French winger Seb Carole. Carole joined The Whites on a free transfer in the summer of 2006, but has struggled to hold down regular football during his time at Elland Road. The 25-year-old did feature in 28 League One games last term - 17 as a starter - although fans were often frustrated by his inconsistent displays. It now seems United boss Gary McAllister is willing to part company with the former Monaco man after allowing him to link up with the newly-promoted side on trial. It has proved a somewhat quiet period for Leeds this summer with only Andy Robinson and Alan Sheehan joining, although Carole could now be one heading for the exit door.

Whites striker joins Northampton on free transfer
Northampton Town have completed the free transfer signing of Leeds United's Leon Constantine. The 30-year-old former Port Vale man was down Gary McAllister's pecking and has now joined The Cobblers in search for first-team football. Constantine, who spent time on loan with Oldham last season, endured an injury-hit season at Elland Road making just one League One start. Northampton boss Stuart Gray is pleased the club have beaten off fierce competition to sign a striker with a proven track record at League One level. Proven goalscorer "He's a centre forward with a physical presence and a proven goalscoring record at this level," Gray told Northampton's official website. "Gary McAllister has come in wanting to sign his own players and that has given us the chance to bring in a player who I think is a quality centre forward. "Full credit to Leon, he could have sat on his contract at Leeds but he has got a great attitude, he is hungry to play football and he wants to get his career kick started again. His goals to games ratio is very good." "I've spoken with Leon and like a number of players I can't guarantee them regular football," McAllister told Leeds' official website. "Leon is at a stage in his career where he needs to be playing regularly and hopefully this move will enable him to do that."

The huge initial fee Leeds are set to receive for Crysencio Summerville’s move to West Ham — Leeds United News 31/7/24

-
Will Butcher West Ham United are closing in on a deal to sign Crysencio Summerville from Leeds United, and Ben Jacobs has shared how much Leeds will receive for the Dutchman. The 22-year-old has been strongly linked with the Elland Road exit door all summer and was targeted as the one big sale Leeds needed to make before the Profit & Sustainability Rules deadline this month. But instead, Leeds sold Archie Gray for £40m to Tottenham. Leeds have since sold five more players in the form of Diego Llorente, Marc Roca, Kris Klaesson and Charlie Cresswell – raking in around £60m in total. But more exits were always likely and Fabrizio Romano reported on Wednesday afternoon that West Ham had agreed personal terms with Summerville, and talks for a fee were ongoing with the Yorkshire side. Now, the story has moved on with multiple sources claiming a deal is done between Leeds and Angus Kinnear’s old club. The Dutchman is expected to sign a five-year at the London Stadium, until Jun...

By Joe Donnohue Leeds United have confirmed supporters' commemorative stones at Elland Road's Centenary Square will be replaced free of charge in a bid to improve their longevity. Beginning next month, Leeds supporters' personalised stones will be replaced with exact replicas, courtesy of a new company, to ensure of a 'much better quality' installation.

Leeds United transfer state of play as Whites knock back low bid and assert wing pair stance — YEP 3/7/24

-
By Graham Smyth Leeds United are not actively looking to cash in on Crysencio Summerville and Willy Gnonto and believe any further outgoing transfer business will be done on their terms. The Whites, who sold Archie Gray to Tottenham Hotspur on Tuesday for £40m, expect that there will be continued interest in wing pair Summerville and Gnonto as the summer transfer window progresses. Summerville has been a target for Premier League side Brighton and Hove Albion but their interest has not yet materialised into a bid. The Albion did, however, send a £30m proposal for Georginio Rutter, which Elland Road chiefs rejected. Rutter is not expected to try and force an exit this summer and appears settled at Leeds after a far more positive second season in English football. The sale of Gray has helped put Leeds into a position where they do not need to sell star players and can dictate any moves that do happen. Club sources say they are not actively looking to sell the likes of Summerville o...
