Jayden Bogle set for Leeds United medical as transfer agreed with Sheffield United — MOT Leeds News 20/7/24

Jayden Bogle is set for a Leeds United medical imminently after a deal was agreed to bring him to Elland Road, John Percy reports.

According to the Telegraph journalist via X on 20 July the Blades defender is set to join the Whites in a £5million deal after an agreement was reached.

He will head for testing thestraight away ahead of joining Daniel Farke’s squad ready for the new Championship season.

The 23-year-old will become the second major signing in defence for the German after Joe Rodon’s £10m return from Tottenham.

Leeds have been losing players faster than they can fill the gaps and the full-back spots have been looking particularly light this summer.

Bringing in Bogle who was a regular throughout Sheffield United’s doomed Premier League campaign should represent a substantial boost assuming there are no issues at the medical.

Archie Gray’s big-money move to Spurs robbed Farke of his regular starting right-back from last season while primary back-up Connor Roberts returned to Burnley at the end of his loan.

The Welshman is believed to be very interested in coming back to Elland Road if the Clarets have moved on from him [Adam Pope, 15 July] so whether signing Bogle rules that out remains to be seen.

Jamie Shackleton has also departed at the expiry of his contract and signed at Bramall Lane so the Whites were faced with heading into the season with only the injury-prone pair Sam Byram and Junior Firpo to cover both full-back positions.

Jayden Bogle is set to join Leeds United with a medical already scheduled.

There has been suggestion that Firpo could be sold himself [Daily Mail, 1 July] so it would be no shock if there were further signings made along the back line, pending confirmation of Max Wober’s future.

But the club have routinely neglected to fully address these positions, particularly left-back, so how plentiful the manager’s options end up being likely remains a moveable feast.

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
