Leeds United man regrets Norwich City moment but vows to change ways amid tactics praise — YEP 12/5/24

Leeds United midfielder Glen Kamara says indecision got the better of him during the second half at Norwich City on Sunday afternoon, in what was otherwise a strong performance by the ex-Rangers man.

The Whites midfielder notched his 40th appearance for the club in the scoreless Championship play-off semi-final first leg at Carrow Road but is yet to find the back of the net in Leeds colours.

Kamara has hardly been prolific throughout his career but says he toyed with the idea of taking aim as Leeds went in search of a late winner in Norfolk.

"I had a chance today. It opened up a bit with a little skill and I was like, 'should I shoot?' and then I was like 'let me try and play it out wide' and we ended up crossing, and anyway never happened, but [I'll] definitely have a shot soon."

Earlier this season, Kamara told the YEP: "Honestly, I hear it every day from the boys about scoring, just scoring in general. I've had a few chances in games, I haven't done so well with chances but it'll come. It'll come for sure. Just give me some time."

The Finnish international also had praise for Daniel Farke's tactics at Carrow Road, as well as his teammates' execution of the game plan against the Canaries.

"We came here trying not to concede a goal and came out with a draw. We wanted to win the game, didn't happen today but I think we can get home, we'll have a full support and do well.

"I don't feel like we gave them a lot of chances in general, in open play, maybe a few set-pieces and free-kicks but in general play I thought we were decent.

"I thought we were solid defensively, definitely in open play. Like I say, we conceded a few set-pieces, free kicks, corner kicks but solid in general," the 28-year-old added.

Jack Clarke stance on Leeds return revealed as Sunderland offer rejected — Football Insider 19/8/24

Wayne Veysey Leeds United could re-sign Jack Clarke this month in a sensational move after the forward rejected a new contract at Sunderland, sources have told Football Insider. Leeds are in the market for a proven forward before the transfer window closes after Crysencio Summerville’s exit and Georginio Rutter’s soon-to-be-completed Brighton move. The west Yorkshire giants have registered an interest in the 23-year-old, but Southampton are also keen on signing him. West Ham had been interested in Clarke back in January but have not followed up on that since then. Clarke graduated from Leeds United’s academy and played for the club until 2019 when he signed for Tottenham Hotspur. The forward is under contract at the Stadium Of Light until 2026. Daniel Farke wants to add a proven forward to his squad in this window after losing two of his most creative sources. Clarke is an experienced winger who could be put straight into the starting lineup and does have the knowledge

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
