'Until the end' — Manor Solomon's life at Leeds United verdict, promotion bid message and 'sure' declaration — YEP 20/4/25

Leeds United’s Tottenham loanee Manor Solomon bagged the only goal of the game to sink Friday night’s hosts Oxford United.

Manor Solomon has issued a glowing life at Leeds United verdict with a Whites promotion bid message and ‘sure’ declaration.

United’s Tottenham loanee Solomon bagged his ninth goal of the season in Friday night’s Championship clash at Oxford United which proved decisive as a 1-0 victory sent Leeds back top.

Daniel Farke’s Whites have a five-point cushion in the division’s automatic promotion places with just three games left and could seal a return to the Premier League on Easter Monday if a victory against afternoon visitors Stoke City is followed by a Sheffield United defeat at Burnley.

In any event, four points from United’s final three games would guarantee a top-two finish.

Speaking to Sky Sports after Friday night’s win at Oxford, Solomon was keen to stress that Leeds still have work to do in order to get over the line and the need to stay “humble” in their promotion quest.

Solomon, though, declared himself “sure” that Leeds would achieve their objective as he gave a glowing verdict on being a Leeds United player.

Asked just how much he was enjoying contributing to the cause, Solomon beamed: “I have been enjoying it so much here so far this season and I want to enjoy it until the end.

"We have three games to go, we need to get four more points and I am sure we are going to do it but it's not done yet and let's bring on Monday. I am really looking forward to it. I can’t wait.”

Providing his assessment of Friday night’s win at Oxford - and huge praise for man of the match teammate Joe Rodon, Solomon reasoned: “We knew it would be difficult and it really was. They have a great team and we struggled but in the end we go back home with the three points. This is the most important thing for us and we are really happy.

“We know the job is not done yet, we need to stay humble and I am waiting for Monday already."

Asked then to present the man of the match award to Rodon, Solomon did just that as he smiled: ”What a man, what a player."

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...
