ADAM FORSHAW: I WANT TO KICK ON AGAIN - Leedsunited.com 14/1/22

Leeds United midfielder Adam Forshaw spoke to LUTV after signing a new contract with the club.

The midfielder has put pen to paper on a new one-year deal, running until the summer of 2023.

After making a successful return from a long injury period of 22 months, Forshaw has made 15 appearances for the Whites this season and he spoke of his delight at committing his future to the club.

“I’m happy and proud, I’ve worked hard to get to this point,” said Forshaw.

“I kept going, working and chipping away every day with the physios and fitness coaches and I’m fortunate to be in this position again.

“The biggest battle was getting pain free and fit and once I knew I would be pain free and withstand the load, I was confident in my ability that I could get back to the required level, it was just the first hurdle I had to get over.

“After the Leicester City game that really gave me the confidence that I was back and I’ve been able to carry on playing games after that, so I’m really pleased.

“I have a lot to thank Marcelo Bielsa for, after getting back in the team he’s repaid his trust in me and kept me in the team so far.

“It seemed like he had a plan for me in the summer in terms of minutes and made me feel wanted still and that I was still a part of his plans and I like to think that is the case now.

“I’ve put a good run of games together and long may it continue.”

Forshaw also spoke about his aims with the club going forwards.

He said: “There’s no stopping here, I’m really pleased to sign a new contract and want to kick on again.

“I want to keep playing games in the Premier League and keep helping the team as much as I can.

“We need to keep progressing as a club and I want to enjoy my football as well as much as I can too.

“Without making excuses, this season we’ve had a lot of injuries and it will be great to get a lot of the lads back and hit a good run of form.

“We probably haven’t had a real run of wins yet this season, so we will be looking forward to 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...

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...
