Leeds United star delivers exciting verdict on new Whites feature and reveals conversation fix - YEP 18/9/23

Georginio Rutter has delivered an exciting verdict on a new Leeds United feature following a recent conversation fix and now a big boost for his Whites.

By Lee Sobot

Leeds lined up for Sunday’s return to Championship action at Millwall sat in just 17th place but an impressive 3-0 victory saw Daniel Farke’s side soar into the division’s top ten. For the second away game running, United’s new front two pairing of Rutter and Joel Piroe both got themselves on the scoresheet as a Piroe brace was followed by a thumping Rutter strike nine minutes from time.

The triumph followed a frustrating goalless draw at home to struggling Sheffield Wednesday in the final game before the international break, after which Rutter revealed that he and Piroe had a conversation about playing closer together.

The fix was then put into practice at Millwall, resulting in another impressive display from a partnership that Rutter has declared can still get better, especially following the big Whites boost of three points at Millwall.

Assessing the new Whites feature of his strike partnership with summer signing Piroe, Rutter told LUTV: "We speak every day and for the last game against Sheffield we spoke because we weren't closer and today it was better. I know for the future it can be better. Now it is really good, but I know it can be even better."

Hailing the big boost that winning at The Den would provide to his side, Rutter reasoned: “It's a good day for the team and three points makes the team more confident. We are happy.

"When you come here, it's difficult to make a goal and to not concede and we won three zero so I think it's a very good performance from the team.

"You need to be clever with your feet because if you are too offensive then afterwards you are tired and you need to make a balance. We played well with this and that's it."

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...
