Watch as Leeds United star nets quickfire brace for his country to secure stunning turnaround - YEP 28/9/22

Leeds United star Luis Sinisterra has been in fine form for Colombia, adding to his first goal for his nation with two more.

Leeds United star Luis Sinisterra has been in sizzling form for his country ahead of returning to Yorkshire this week.

Sinisterra arrived at Elland Road on a big-money deal in the summer, coming in to replace Raphinha, who joined Barcelona.

And after initial injury issues, he has impressed early on under Jesse Marsch, scoring three times and assisting once from out wide in six appearances across all competitions.

Over the last week or so, Sinisterra has been competing in friendly fixtures with Colombia, who will not be involved in this winter’s World Cup in Qatar.

And Sinisterra has been in superb form, scoring in a 4-1 win over Guatemala last week ahead of netting a superb brace on Tuesday night - local time.

Colombia were two goals down against Mexico heading into half-time, but Sinisterra netted twice in three minutes to get his nation onto level terms.

Wilmar Bernos went on to score the winner for Colombia in an encouraging win as they look to turn around recent fortunes.

For the first goal, Sinisterra climbed high above everyone else during a corner to head into the top corner.

And for the second, the Leeds winger swept a shot across goal, and a deflection helped the ball to nestle in the far corner.

You can see the goals below.

Sinisterra’s goal last week was his first for his country, and after that one, he took to Instagram to capture his delight.

“Unique feeling of scoring my first goal with this shirt. I will always be proud to represent my country,” he said.

“Starting this process with a victory was all we wanted, what we had been working for. Very happy for my first goal with the Colombian National Team and there will be many more.”

Sinisterra will now return to Leeds ahead of this weekend’s clash with Aston Villa.

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...
