Leeds United have the 15th most valuable squad in the Premier League following the summer transfer window, according to data from transfermarkt.co.uk.

Following the summer spending, the combined value of Premier League clubs now stands at a staggering £8.34bn, up from £7.96bn this time last year.

Clubs will not be able to sign any new players until January, unless they opt to explore the free agent market.

Values of squads change based on the arrivals of new players while player’s values can go up or down depending on form.

According to transfermarkt, Manchester City have the most valuable squad in the division, coming in at £937.17m. That value is almost £150m more than rivals Liverpool, whose squad is valued at £794.7m.

Chelsea (£718.65m), Manchester United (£675.27m), Tottenham Hotspur (£591.57m) and Arsenal (£554.85m) make up the rest of the top six.

Aston Villa, with a value of £468.54m, have the most valuable squad outside the top six while Leicester City’s side is also valued over the £400m mark at £430.47m while West Ham (£389.25m) and Everton (£366.98m) make up the top 10.

Leeds come in at 15th with a value of £237.42m, behind Wolves (£325.67m), Newcastle United (£320.67m), Brentford (£255.24m) and Crystal Palace (£241.20m) while Southampton are placed just behind Leeds with a squad value of £234.77m.

After an incredibly-busy summer, Nottingham Forest have seen the biggest rise in value over the last 12 months, with their squad now rated at £223.38m – up from £40.77m this time last year.

Brighton are currently outperforming their squad value with Graham Potter’s side fourth after six games despite having the 18th most valuable squad at £222.03m, only ahead of Fulham (£202.50m) and AFC Bournemouth (£150.66m).

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. The work is expected to take around two months to complete. An official club statement confirmed 'three larger stones dedicated to former managers Don Revie, Howard Wilkinson and Marcelo Bielsa' will also be installed, 'similar to those located in Bremner Square', while additional space for supporters to purchase new stones has also been factored into the project. “The club have taken on board recent feedback from supporters on the stones at Centenary Square, and we are really happy that we can now announce that all of the stones will be replaced," chief executive Angus Kinnear confirmed,...

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...
