DANIEL FARKE: I LOVE OUR ATTITUDE AND MENTALITY - Leedsunited.com 21/8/23

-

Leeds United manager Daniel Farke spoke exclusively to LUTV following Friday’s draw with West Bromwich Albion at Elland Road.

The Whites came from behind to pick up a point against the Baggies, following a controversial opener, thanks to Luke Ayling’s second half header.

Farke was pleased with the performance, but felt his side should have taken all three points from the game.

“I just have compliments for my lads, I’m really happy with the workload that we put in.

“Obviously it was difficult circumstances during the week, but we played one of the contenders for promotion and West Brom’s youngest player was older than our average age in our whole squad, so this says a lot, we were up against a very experienced side.

“We were by far the better side, we had more possession, 15-3 shots and we should have won the game.

“Sometimes these things happen in football, in the first three league games we have conceded six shots on target and five goals.

“West Brom’s goal was handball and offside, if there was VAR it would have been ruled out.

“We created chance after chance, we hit the inside of the post and the ball went out, but this is football and these things happen.

“You have to show spirit, dig in and grind out results, I wish the lads could have been rewarded with the three points, but I like we are still unbeaten in home games.

“I love our attitude and mentality that we never know when we are beaten, we turned the game against an experienced side, completely.

“When we needed our supporters the most, they were there, the atmosphere was electric.”

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...
