JAYDEN BOGLE: IT’S A MASSIVE CLUB AND OPPORTUNITY — Leeds united.com 20/7/24

-


Defender gives his thoughts on signing for the club.

Leeds United confirmed the arrival of Jayden Bogle, who joined the club on a four-year deal from fellow Sky Bet Championship side, Sheffield United.

The 23-year-old made the switch from South to West Yorkshire and will bolster Daniel Farke’s defence, with his experience and abilities on the right side.

After putting pen to paper at Elland Road, Bogle gave his thoughts to LUTV on signing, and told us more about himself as a player.

He said: “It’s amazing [to sign for Leeds]. It’s a great feeling, a massive club and a massive opportunity, I can’t wait to get going.

“I knew there was interest and since I heard it, this is where I wanted to be. As I said, it’s a massive club and opportunity, a fantastic team, great staff, so I am really excited.

“I am comfortable on the ball, I like to get forward and create chances, but be defensively solid and strong.

“I like to have good positioning too, and just be a big part of the team basically, to commit going forward and defensively as well.”

Bogle has played at Elland Road before and knows what to expect when walking out of the tunnel, but our latest signing is now looking forward to the crowd being with him, rather than against.

“I've played here before and the atmosphere before a game is crazy,” the defender explained.

“I can’t wait for that to be on my side now and fuel me going into games, I am really excited about it.

“Even looking at it now when it’s empty [during his interview with LUTV], it looks amazing, so I can’t imagine what it’s like when it is full.”

It’s also a league that he knows well as well, having made over 100 appearances at this level and also previously winning promotion from it.

“You have to be on it week in week out,” Jayden stated.

“There is big games all the time and it’s the type of league where bottom of the league can beat top of the league.

“So, you have to be at it and if not, you can get punished. The club is good in that sense because we’ll be approaching every game to win.

“Playing in big games always helps players, especially when you can try and play your best too, so I think that’s important.

“It’s what I’ve come to the club to do, to play my best and give my all for the club, to create some history together.”

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 board break silence after transfer window with statement on upcoming Elland Road development — YEP 2/9/24

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...
