Adam Forshaw issues message on Leeds United exit with sign-off Whites wish amid Saudi links - YEP 23/7/21

-


Adam Forshaw has issued a message upon his Whites departure, signing off with a wish for Leeds United’s future.

By Lee Sobot

Forshaw joined Leeds from Middlesbrough for £4.5m back in January 2018 but the 31-year-old’s time at Elland Road has now come to an end after 91 appearances for the club. Forshaw’s contract at Leeds expired this summer and the Whites announced last month that the midfielder would be released at the end of his current deal but invited back for pre-season training.

The midfielder was offered new terms by Leeds but the club confirmed on Saturday that the Liverpudlian would be leaving the club, paying tribute to a leader and important player. Forshaw has been linked with a move to Saudi Arabia and is also believed to be attracting interest from other Championship clubs.

The midfielder was one of the club’s longest serving players left at Elland Road and Forshaw has now taken to social media to issue a farewell message, signing off with a wish for United’s future.

"Memories to last a lifetime for me and my family,” wrote the midfielder on his Instagram page, accompanied with a thank you image and an array of photos of his time at Leeds. "Was a privilege to play for such a great club. Wish everyone with Leeds all the best for the future.”

By Kyle Newbould Leeds United appear to be zoning in on midfield reinforcements with just over one month until their Premier League return. Leeds United appear to have taken a big step forward in their pursuit of Anton Stach amid reports the midfielder has agreed personal terms on a move to Elland Road. The YEP exclusively reported on interest in Stach almost three weeks ago, with Leeds identifying the ball-winning midfielder as a prime candidate to add the kind of physicality and experience Daniel Farke desires. The 6ft 4ins German international is considered one of the best ball-winners in the Bundesliga and is expected to attract interest from several possible rivals. Leeds missed out on £47million pair Habib Diarra and Noah Sadiki to Sunderland but still saw the Hoffenheim midfielder and Newcastle United’s Sean Longstaff as viable transfer targets, with a £15m agreement reached in principle for the latter this week. And now Sky Germany’s Florian Plettenberg has provided an ...

by Kwadwo Hemeng Leeds United are playing in the Premier League next season. But with the transfer window coming up, there are still some questions about the squad that need to be answered. Starting striker Joel Piroe has been first choice over the last two seasons. And he has delivered, scoring over 35 goals. But in recent weeks, Leeds’ rumoured moves show that there may be doubt over his ability heading into the Premier League. Over the last month, the club have been linked with George Hirst, and more recently Celtic star Daizen Maeda. Wrexham are also said to be very interested in signing Patrick Bamford this summer, so Leeds will definitely sign a new striker. TEAMtalk are reporting that Leeds United have drawn up a shortlist of strikers for the summer. It includes two current Premier League players, and a former Tottenham star. But surprisingly, the trio have just 19 career goals in the competition. Whichever of them the club decides to sign will have a big say in survivin...
