‘Fee has been agreed’ for highly-rated striker to join Tottenham — journalist — The Boy Hotspur 27/6/25

By Saikat

Tottenham Hotspur are now closing in on the capture of the Leeds United youth striker Oliver Boast.

According to journalist Beren Cross from The Athletic, the player has decided to leave Leeds United because he was behind Harry Gray in the pecking order.

Cross has now revealed that a seven-figure ‘fee has been agreed’ with Tottenham Hotspur and the player is set to join the Europa League winners this summer.

Huge opportunity for Oliver Boast

Spurs move will be a massive opportunity for him, and he will look to prove himself at the Premier League club.

He is unlikely to be a part of the first team set-up next season, and he is likely to work his way up through the ranks. He is highly rated at Leeds, and he has a bright future. Boast could develop into a quality player for Tottenham in the long term.

The North London club have shown interest in signing talented young players in recent years, and they are set to add to the pool of young talent already at the club. The 16-year-old has all the attributes to develop into a quality Premier League player with the right guidance.

Leeds will be disappointed

Meanwhile, the departure will come as a major blow for Leeds. They will not want to lose their brightest young prospect, especially to rival clubs. They have secured promotion to the Premier League, and they will look to establish themselves as top-flight regulars.

They need to build a squad for the future in order to sustain themselves in the top flight. Keeping their best young players will be a priority for them. Boast is a prized Academy asset for them, and they will be disappointed with the situation.

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.

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...
