Latest Kieran Maguire report shows Leeds United’s crazy net spend since 2021 is higher than Aston Villa — Leeds United News 7/2/25

Leeds United have spent a fair amount of money over the past transfer windows but their overall net spend could make you jump out of your seat.

This doesn’t apply to the most recent window after Leeds didn’t spend a single penny in the recent market.

The 49ers expected signings at Leeds and this may have frustrated the Whites fans when they didn’t see an incoming walk through the door.

However, signings have been made and players have left in large capacities over the last couple of years.

From Leeds’ stint in the Premier League to recent Championship seasons, their net spend makes for surprising viewing.

Kieran Maguire report shows Leeds United’s crazy net spend since 2021

During the summer Leeds gained £115m after transfers and it was a busy transfer window, to say the least. The likes of Crysencio Summerville and Georginio Rutter leaving helped Leeds’ transfer figures, but between 2021-25 it shows that Leeds definitely needed some financial gain.

Football finance expert, Kieran Maguire, has revealed the highest net spend in England over the last four seasons, and Leeds feature on the expensive side of the list, eclipsing the likes of Aston Villa, Nottingham Forest, and aren’t too far behind Liverpool (bottom graphic).

The 49ers will have to be careful if Leeds gain Premier League promotion

The signs point to the 49ers being sustainable at Leeds after the summer and the recent January window, but the net spend of -£268m will have to be improved.

If promotion to the Premier League occurs, the Leeds owners could find themselves getting carried away in the top flight.

Paraag Marathe said Leeds will be ‘aggressive’ with transfers and that could certainly happen next season.

PSR will potentially be monitored at Leeds if they go extreme with transfers in the summer, as the 49ers will be well aware of what they have to do.

Although the Leeds faithful will like the Whites’ energy with transfers, the owners can’t give in to fan pressure and they must stick to their guns of being sensible.

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 double development with striker so far unavailable and defender 'bafflement' — YEP 30/1/25

-
By Graham Smyth A striker viewed by Leeds United as a possible reinforcement for Daniel Farke’s attacking options has so far been declared unavailable by his club. The Whites have long admired Cameron Archer of Southampton and made enquiries in previous windows but as reports emerge that an approach has been rejected by the Saints, the YEP understands that Leeds will continue to monitor his situation. Southampton are not currently willing to sanction an exit for a player who has started 10 games in the Premier League and made 25 appearances in all competitions so far this season. Archer, 23, has scored five goals for the Saints, only two of which came in league action. He has previously proven prolific at Championship level in loan spells for both Preston North End and Middlesbrough. Southampton have already shipped on one striker in the January transfer window, with the loan move of Ben Brereton Diaz to Leeds’ title rivals Sheffield United. The Chilean international struggled fo...
