Max Wober missed Leeds United's friendly with Monaco due to 'transfer situation' confirms Daniel Farke plus injury blows for Jack Harrison, Tyler Adams and Junior Firpo

LEEDS UNITED boss Daniel Farke has confirmed that centre-half Max Wober missed Saturday's friendly against AS Monaco because of his 'transfer situation' and 'contract situation' - prompting speculation that the Austrian international will leave the club shortly.

The 24-year-old, who only joined Leeds in January, has been linked with a move away since the Whites were relegated from the Premier League.

Meanwhile, in another blow, Farke has also confirmed that Jack Harrison and Tyler Adams will be unavailable until after the first international break in September due to injury issues.

The pair have been suffering from hip and hamstring problems respectively, with Farke also revealing that Junior Firpo will miss the start of the campaign with a knee injury.

On Wober, Farke, speaking after the 2-0 loss to Monaco, said: "Max Wober (absence) is to do with the transfer situation and also the contract situation and we will wait and see what the outcome is over the next days.

"Jack Harrison and Tyler Adams are still on the way back because they are still doing their rehab. They will definitely miss the start of the season and it is a bit too early to judge when they will be back. I expect them to be back after the first international break perhaps.

"They have to work on their rehab. Jack Harrison and Tyler are top-class players and characters and important to us. It is not easy for us to start without them, but that's the reality.

"Firpo is out with an injury with an inner ligament. He will definitely be out for the next five weeks and he will definitely miss the first part of the season.”

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...
