ADAM FORSHAW: WE DEFINITELY WANT TO PUT THINGS RIGHT - Leedsunited.com 25/2/22

Adam Forshaw has spoken with the media prior to his Leeds United side facing Tottenham Hotspur this weekend.

The North London outfit travel to Elland Road for the 12:30 kick-off, with both teams aiming to bounce back from recent defeats. 

Ahead of the match, Forshaw was asked how the group would react following Wednesday’s tough night at Anfield.

“You have to take your medicine, first and foremost,” he explained.

“You have to analyse it, to see where things went wrong, then move on as quickly as possible.

“We have a really important game against Tottenham now so we definitely want to put things right, and going into a game with as much confidence as possible.

“I won’t lie, the lads were pretty down after the game as you would be, because nobody likes to get beaten and especially in that manner.

“There can’t be a hangover, we’ve come in and recovered well and trained well going into tomorrow, so we are confident we can get a result.”

Spurs have lost four out of their last five matches in the Premier League, but last weekend produced an excellent win away at table toppers Manchester City. Forshaw explained that the focus is on his side, rather than on the form of the opposition.

He said: “I don’t really focus on things like that, I don’t look into form.

“If we know we’ve prepared well and done everything right then it is better to focus on ourselves, rather than what everyone else is doing.

“The risk is with these teams that they have world class players, the likes of Harry Kane and Son Heung-Min, you have to constantly be on it with them. 

“I think we’ll be wary of that but not forgetting that we showed a good side to ourselves in the last game against them.

“We need our intensity, organisation and being tough to be beat, whilst using our pace and excitement that we have got in the final third.”

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...
