Archie Gray has sent Leeds United star Georginio Rutter into raptures of laughter when answering a question in the latest video posted by the club, his answer being “Joel Piroe”.

Leeds have been busy in the media this week in anticipation of Sunday’s Championship play-off final against Southampton. The Whites are in good spirits after their 4-0 win over Norwich last Thursday.

Indeed, Piroe has said that the morale inside the dressing room is excellent. Leeds now take on Russell Martin’s side for a place in the Premier League, to join Leicester City and Ipswich Town in promotion.

But the confidence is high after Thursday’s win and Leeds will believe they can get the job done on Sunday against a side that has beaten Daniel Farke’s side both home and away in the regular season.

Leeds posted a video on LUTV this evening in which Rutter and Gray answer some questions about their teammates, and Gray was asked which players spends the most time on social media.

A young squad, the Leeds players all seem to get on incredibly well in what is a new era for the club, under the ownership of The 49ers and with a manager who has a faith in youth at his previous clubs.

The Leeds duo were asked plenty of questions about their teammates, with Rutter posing one to Gray about social media. Rutter asked Gray: “Which teammate spends too much time on social media?

Gray replied: “I’ve got one in mind. Joel Piroe. He’s always sending videos to everyone. Joel is always sending like Instagram reels and stuff,” prompting Rutter to laugh uncontrollably, exclaiming: “I agree”.

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.

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...
