Leeds United youngsters Robbie Gotts, Jordan Stevens and Bryce Hosannah all made permanent moves away from the club on deadline day.

By Stuart Rayner

Midfielder Gotts and winger Stevens both joined League Two Barrow on free transfers.

Gotts made his senior debut at Arsenal in the FA Cup in 2019-20, a game Stevens also played in, but only made two further appearances before loans at Lincoln City and Salford City.

Winger Stevens spent the second half of last season on loan at Bradford City but was only able to make one League Two start. He went on trial at their League Two neighbours Harrogate Town in the summer, but failed to win a contract.

The 21-year-old made six first-team appearances, all from the bench, in all competitions for Leeds after joining from Forest Green Rovers in 2018.

Earlier in the day Bryce Hosannah, who was also on loan at Valley Parade last season, joined Wrexham on a free transfer. The right-back joined for the full season but a troublesome groin problem limited him to eight League Two appearances.

Winger Helder Costa is also expected to leave, for Valencia, after the signing of fellow winger Dan James.

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...

Leeds United full-time apology, wantaway man's tunnel appearance and off-camera Villarreal moments — YEP 3/8/25

By Graham Smyth The YEP’s verdict and off-camera moments from Leeds United’s 1-1 draw against Villarreal at Elland Road in the club’s penultimate pre-season friendly. Leeds United are edging closer to a Premier League return with just one more friendly left to play now that a 1-1 draw with Villarreal is in the books. It was far from a thriller at Elland Road but there were positives to take, particularly for two individuals involved in the Whites goal. It was far from a good day for others, however. Here's the YEP take on Leeds' battle with LaLiga opposition. Good day Joel Piroe Another game, another goal. The Dutchman knows where the net is and with no new number 9 in the door yet, Piroe has put together a good case to start up top against Everton if the need arises. Lukas Nmecha has also looked sharp but Piroe's status as the club's best finisher appears to remain untouched. It helps that he came back for pre-season in such good shape too, because he wil...

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...
