LUKE AYLING: THE BOYS ARE BUZZING - Leedsunited.com 19/3/22

-


Luke Ayling shared his thoughts with the media after scoring in stoppage time to secure three points, away at Wolverhampton Wanderers.

The Whites have now won back to back games, both with goals coming in the final seconds of the respective matches.

Coming back after being two-goals behind at Molineux, goals from Jack Harrison, Rodrigo and then Ayling’s winner sparked jubilant celebrations.

“It’s some buzz, you know,” Ayling said, after the match. “We came in 2-0 down with a sloppy goal towards the end of the half and the boys heads seemed a bit down. But, we came out second half and showed character. Their player getting sent off is a game changer and the boys dug in to get a massive three points, it’s huge.  We just said to carry on going, we had got into some great positions in the first half and we should maybe have taken a chance before they scored their first goal. It’s just a massive result in the end, the boys are buzzing.”

The defender and captain on the night was asked how he felt when he scored, and about the celebrations after he had hit the net! 

Ayling said: “We scored, then we got the second soon after, then we went a bit flat and tried to go too long too quickly. Then after that we got the goal in the end. I just put my head over it and thought smash it as hard as I can! Then I tried to do the Robbie Keane celebration but I couldn’t land the cartwheel which was disappointing, I’ll have to work on that.

“It’s huge for us to put a little bit of daylight, but the teams down there have games in hand. We have to try keep building on these results and and how we’ve been playing. I think we’ve been playing well since the new Gaffer has come in, so we are going to keep trying to build, we’ve got a break now so we’ll just try and carry on.”

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...
