FABRIZIO ROMANO CONFIRMS THE CONTRACT DETAILS IN LEEDS UNITED’S TRANSFER AGREEMENT WITH LUTON TOWN - Football League World 26/1/23

Cody Drameh’s move to Luton Town will involve no permanent option for the player.

According to Fabrizio Romano, the full back will arrive back at Elland Road in the summer to be part of Jesse Marsch’s squad.

Leeds United agreed a deal with the Hatters to loan out the 21-year old for the remainder of the season.

The defender is set for a medical later today as the club looks to complete the deal ahead of this weekend’s FA Cup clash with Grimsby Town.

Rob Edwards is looking for reinforcements at right back following the decision to accept a deal worth up to £750K with Southampton for James Bree.

Drameh has made just one league appearance so far this season, starting in a 5-2 loss to Brentford back in September.

The right back enjoyed a successful period on loan in the second half of the previous campaign with Cardiff City.

Drameh made 22 appearances for the Bluebirds as he helped the team to an 18th place finish in the Championship.

Despite this, he failed to make a breakthrough with Leeds this campaign so will be hoping his time at Kenilworth Road will have a greater impact.

Drameh performed quite well for Cardiff last season so should prove a positive signing for Luton.

Losing Bree is a blow, but finding a quick replacement is a sign of a club that plans ahead.

Not having a permanent option in the deal does mean a permanent replacement will need to be found in the summer.

But Drameh should provide enough quality to make a worthwhile short-term solution.

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 board break silence after transfer window with statement on upcoming Elland Road development — YEP 2/9/24

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.

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...
