Leeds United head coach Daniel Farke will currently be preparing to face off against Sheffield United at Elland Road in the Championship on Friday night.

The Whites went into the international break off the back of a 2-2 draw with Sunderland at the Stadium of Light and will now be looking to bounce back to winning ways against the Blades.

Farke will still be without his two first-choice central midfielders, however, as Ilia Gruev and Ethan Ampadu are long-term absentees with knee injuries.

It was recently revealed by Bulgaria boss Ilian Iliev that the former is due to be out of action until the March international break, which is a significant blow for Leeds.

Why losing Ilia Gruev is a blow

Being without the former Werder Bremen man until March is a big blow for the Whites because it stretches beyond the January transfer window and leaves them in a difficult position.

If they do not find a free agent who suits what they want, it would be hard to commit to a signing to fill the void in January as it would have to be a player who would know that their game time could then be limited once Gruev returns to fitness in March.

The 24-year-old midfielder made 29 appearances in the Championship last season, completing 92% of his attempted passes and making 2.5 tackles and interceptions per game.

Gruev also completed 90% of his attempted passes and made 3.6 tackles and interceptions per match across eight outings in the league this season before his knee injury.

The player Leeds should recall

Farke could ease the blow of losing Gruev by recalling youngster Darko Gyabi from his loan spell with Plymouth Argyle in the Championship.

Should they have the option to do so, the Whites must bring the England U20 international, who scored a stunning goal for his country against Italy’s U20s last week, back to Elland Road in January.

He took the ball in 30 yards out and dribbled a few yards before unleashing a scorching effort into the back of the net from long range to draw England level, in a game they went on to win 2-1.

Gyabi has also caught the eye with his performances for Wayne Rooney’s side in the Championship this season, and could provide the calmness in possession and combative nature out of possession that Gruev offered.

As you can see in the table above, both players create chances for their teammates whilst being reliable on the ball, albeit the Bulgaria international is not as loose with his passing.

Gyabi, though, appears to offer more of a physical presence in the middle of the park, winning more duels and a higher percentage of his battles each game.

The 20-year-old could, therefore, come in as a dream replacement for Gruev in the second half of the season, as a player who knows the club and has now proven himself in the division, which is why Farke should attempt to recall him.

The Whites let go of the centre-forward before he had a chance to fulfill his potential.

Newcastle United sporting director Paul Mitchell is looking to make a massive appointment at Newcastle United, in a potential boost for Eddie Howe.

Mitchell waking waves at Newcastle

A major change took place at St James’ Park during the summer, with Mitchell coming in from Monaco as arguably one of the most highly thought of sporting directors in the game. The Englishman came in at Newcastle as Dan Ashworth’s replacement, as the club looked to fill the void left by a significant figure at St James’ Park, as he moved on to Manchester United instead.

Since then, Mitchell has certainly made waves with the Magpies, with his strained relationship with Eddie Howe proving to be a big talking, and his bullish comments about Newcastle’s approach to transfers standing out: “Is it fit for purpose? Not last winter gone, the winter before that.

“Is it fit for purpose in the modern game? Because other clubs that have adopted a different approach over time, with more intelligence, more data-informed than we are, actually prospered in this window. That’s where we have to grow to be now.”

It is very clear that the 43-year-old is looking to make his presence felt at Newcastle, and now another update has emerged to further suggest that that is the case.

Mitchell eyeing big appointment at Newcastle

According to The Athletic, Mitchell wants to appoint a new senior recruitment expert at Newcastle, as he looks to turn the club into an “elite” operation in all facets on and off the pitch to close the gap on the biggest teams in the country. The report says that the former Monaco transfer guru has “held extensive meetings with department heads”, with interviews already held regarding the new appointment and data use to be a big focus in the new scouting set up.

This is an impressive update when it comes to the job Mitchell is doing, even though he has arguably become a divisive figure already because of the nature of his relationship with Howe, with some supporters naturally defensive of the manager. Newcastle must have everyone pulling in the same direction, whether it be the manager, sporting director or anyone to do with the recruitment team, and it looks as though he is doing his best to make that happen.

The success of Manchester City and Liverpool over the past decade or so has been partly down to both clubs being such well-oiled machines, with Michael Edwards an almost legendary sporting director at Anfield, masterminding the signings of Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane, among others, and copying the Moneyball approach made famous in baseball.

Newcastle now plotting move to sign "confident" prodigy after scouting trip

He’s one for the future…

1 ByTom Cunningham Oct 5, 2024

If Newcastle can make a similarly revolutionary appointment, acquiring the services of a master in the role, it could have a huge impact on their transfer business. Ensuring that Howe has a good rapport with the individual is also essential, however, and Mitchell must be aware of that.

Birmingham City kept their early unbeaten streak in League One going with a confident 2-0 away win at Rotherham United, with zero losses coming their way now from their opening six games in the division.

Jay Stansfield has been an obvious standout performer early on, and the ex-Fulham man picked up his third League One goal from just two starts so far versus the Millers, to help the Blues return back to St. Andrew’s victorious.

He will want to keep up this rich vein of goalscoring form as the games come thick and fast in the third tier, with Alfie May even finding he had been demoted to the bench for the trip to the New York Stadium, over Stansfield being left out.

Stansfield's performance vs Rotherham

Lyndon Dykes was given the nod to start over the former Charlton Athletic sharp shooter for the away game in South Yorkshire, as Stansfield excelled in a different position in an attacking midfield role, over operating as the lone centre-forward.

Despite the fact he wasn’t the leading man up top, the on-fire Blues number 28 would still show off his prowess in-front of goal, with this beautifully taken first-time finish by the 21-year-old looping over the Rotherham goalkeeper for 2-0 on the day.

Away from that stylish finish, Stansfield was also attempting to play his teammates into space all match long to make the victory more emphatic, with two key passes tallied up from his 42 touches of the ball.

Winning five duels in the contest for Chris Davies’ men too to show some grit in his game, the 21-year-old is fully justifying his extortionate £20m price-tag so far, and will be seen as an even more invaluable purchase if his strikes help Birmingham make an instant return to the Championship happen.

Away from the much-talked-about forward, however, and new midfield face Tomoki Iwata is already becoming a firm fan’s favourite at St. Andrew’s during the infancy of this campaign too, having swapped Celtic for the Blues this summer.

Iwata's performance vs Rotherham

The Japanese midfield gem has two goals this season playing for Davies’ men, but is a far unlikelier source of goals from the holding positions in the side.

Originally unleashed into Scottish football by Ange Postecoglou at Celtic, Iwata has taken to the English game swimmingly, with his performance against Rotherham sticking out as a positive from the 2-0 win.

Looking at the table above, Iwata offered much more to his team’s cause away from just opening the scoring, with three key passes notched up in the contest as a presence allowing his promotion-chasing team to tick centrally.

But, away from tallying up 51 accurate passes from his 65 touches of the ball, the ex-Celtic man also displayed some bite in his performance, with five total duels won and two tackles also registered to stop the hosts from gaining any sort of foothold in the clash.

Birmingham Live journalist Alex Dicken would wax lyrical about the 27-year-old’s performance post-match subsequently, gifting the new Blues signing a stellar 9/10 rating and stating that he ‘makes so few mistakes’ under pressure.

Both Iwata and Stansfield will be very important moving forward for Davies in his side’s quest to win an instant promotion back up to the Championship, with the early signs suggesting that Birmingham have the ability to remain perched near the top of the division all campaign long.

With the January transfer window a matter of months away, Newcastle United’s scouting department are reportedly tracking a South American reinforcement who’s already become a star in Europe.

Newcastle transfer news

Those at St James’ Park have plenty of making up to do in 2025 on the transfer front after a monumental failure in the summer saw Eddie Howe’s side left short on fresh faces. You wouldn’t know it, however, with the former Bournemouth boss currently getting the very best out of the side at his disposal. The Magpies have so far won three from four Premier League, with the only time they’ve dropped points coming against the Cherries.

That said, when the fixtures begin to come thick and fast over the festive period, Newcastle may have their squad depth, or lack thereof, exposed for all to see in the Premier League, leading to some January reinforcements. On the transfer front, those in Tyneside have already been linked to the likes of Leroy Sane, who would be quite the apology gift for Paul Mitchell and co. to present to St James’ Park alongside a potential midfield reinforcement.

According to TNT Sports in Brazil, Newcastle’s scouting department are now tracking Ederson at Atalanta in hopes of luring the Brazilian away from last season’s Europa League winners. They’re reportedly not alone in their interest, however, with competition from Manchester United and Juventus suggesting that a tight battle is set to commence for Ederson’s signature in 2025.

Sources at Newcastle have just shared 5-word update on Eddie Howe's future

Is the Magpies boss in danger of losing his job?

With Sandro Tonali back in action to sit alongside Bruno Guimaraes, the prospect of Ederson’s arrival to complete such a midfield is certainly a mouth-watering one for those at St James’ Park. Forming that trio, alone, may well make the midfielder’s reported £40,000-a-week salary worth paying.

"Machine" Ederson would unleash Guimaraes

Without a defensive midfielder of similar calibre sitting next to him, Guimaraes has been unable to unleash his attacking quality since the early days of his Newcastle career in a significant blow for Howe’s side. The arrival of Ederson, accompanied by the return of Tonali, would finally allow Guimaraes to become the creator from the Magpies’ midfield, however.

Guimaraes’ numbers, for starters, simply reflect just how incredible a player that Newcastle have at their disposal. Whether it’s going forward or sitting in front of the backline, the Magpies have one of the best midfielders in the Premier League.

Ederson, meanwhile, more than holds his own, especially off the ball with his ability to recover possession particularly standing out. Placing the Brazilian alongside his countryman at club level would be an act of genius by Newcastle, who must win the race for his signature in 2025.

Dubbed a “machine” by Italian football expert Carlo Garganese after the Europa League final, the Atalanta star is one that Newcastle’s scouting department is watching and one that the rest of the Premier League should be keeping a keen eye on in 2025.

Everton appear to be close to landing a new forward this summer, with reports suggesting that a €22m fee could soon be agreed with Leeds United for Wilfried Gnonto.

How many goals has Wilfried Gnonto scored for Leeds?

The 19-year-old has only been with Leeds for one season, but has already made quite the impression for the club and in the Premier League. Despite his age, he was given the opportunity to feature for them on 24 occasions in the top flight, and became one of their most established options in attack.

That led to the Italy international bagging two goals and four assists – leading to his second-best-ever goal contribution rate over the course of his career so far. It meant that he ended the season with a 0.40 goal or assist per 90 rate. [FBref]

Gnonto burst onto the scene as a 16-year-old in Switzerland with FC Zurich and started three times for them in the league that campaign – managing one goal and three assists. He then hit a double-digit goal contribution tally with the side for the first time in the 2021/22 season. That led to his move to England and to Leeds, and he has continued to shine even in the top flight.

Are Everton signing Wilfried Gnonto?

Everton appear to be closing in on a move for free agent Ashley Young as their first summer signing, with the 38-year-old set to make the move to Merseyside after leaving Aston Villa.

Gnonto and Young came up against each other last season at Villa Park, with Gary Neville hailing the forward for his display against the experienced full-back, and it looks as if they could soon be teammates.

With the Whites now relegated back down to the Championship though, there are teams that are well prepared to keep Gnonto in the top tier. One of those sides is Everton, with those at Goodison Park in contact over a potential transfer already it seems, so to have Aston Villa, with the Villains also considering a move to try and land the Italian in a deal.

Now, it seems that things are escalating in terms of Gnonto moving to Merseyside. According to a report from Sport Italia via Leeds United News, the striker is "very close" to switching to Everton and staying in the Premier League. A fee mentioned between the two clubs is thought to be around €22m (£18.8m) – and it seems as if it may just be a matter of time until a move goes through.

Once terms have been reached with the teenager, it looks like everything could get the green light between the sides and a transfer could be completed. Villa have not hit the asking price yet – and that leaves the Toffees clear to get a transfer done this window.

Despite still being a teenager, Gnonto has already received high praise from those who have watched him play for Leeds. Football talent scout Jacek Kulig stated that the striker has "pace" and "energy" among other things and finished by saying that the Italian is a "nightmare for defenders".

The 19-year-old has already proven that he can be a force to be reckoned with in England – and if Everton do manage to land him this summer, it could really improve their forward line ahead of the 2023/24 season in both the short and long run.

Tottenham Hotspur's impressive start to the transfer window looks set to continue, with various reports suggesting that the Lilwhites have reached an agreement for the signing of Manor Solomon on a free transfer.

The Shakhtar Donetsk ace – who spent last season on loan at Fulham – joins James Maddison and Guglielmo Vicario in arriving through the door at N17, with new boss Ange Postecoglou having also overseen the permanent captures of both Pedro Porro and Dejan Kulusevski.

In the case of Solomon, the 23-year-old showed flashes of his quality at Craven Cottage last season despite missing the first half of the campaign through injury, notably scoring four goals in four successive Premier League games between mid-February and early March.

That impending addition will help to strengthen a forward line that does appear rather thin on the ground at present, particularly with Lucas Moura having been allowed to depart at the end of his contract.

With that in mind, it would be no surprise if Solomon is not the only attacking asset to join Postecoglou's ranks this summer, with the Daily Mail having notably revealed at the weekend that the ex-Celtic boss is a big admirer of Brighton and Hove Albion star, Kaoru Mitoma.

The Greek-Aussie did reveal earlier this year that he had tried to sign the Japanese sensation – who is now valued at around £35m – during his stint in charge at Parkhead, with it perhaps not out of the question that the 57-year-old could revive his interest in the dazzling wing wizard.

Should Tottenham sign Kaoru Mitoma?

After previously scoring eight goals and laying on four assists in 26 games during his time on loan at Union Saint-Gilloise during the 2021/22 campaign, the 26-year-old went on to replicate that impact in the Premier League last time out, scoring seven goals and contributing six assists in 33 top-flight outings.

The highly-rated speedster – who also provided a further five goal involvements while on cup duty – has been something of a revelation of late under Roberto De Zerbi, having helped to power the Seagulls to European qualification last term.

A move to Spurs, therefore, would undoubtedly be warranted, with there a potential for Postecoglou to form an exciting attacking partnership moving forward involving Mitoma on one side and the aforementioned Solomon on the other.

While the latter man typically operated on the left-wing during his time in west London, the Israeli international has featured heavily throughout his career on the right flank, thus allowing Mitoma to rival and compete with Heung-min Son on the opposite side.

The major benefit of that partnership would be the duo's innate dribbling prowess, helping to offer a real devastating and direct threat down either flank, with the Brighton dynamo ranking in the top 5% for progressive carries among his European peers as well as in the top 16% for successful take-ons, while Solomon ranks in the top 6% for that latter metric.

Aside from being able to blossom alongside the Shakhtar menace, a further positive of snapping up Mitoma is his apparent likeness to a legendary figure of Tottenham's recent history, with Tim Sherwood (Premier League Productions, 15/04/2023, 15:55) having stated that the £10k-per-week ace manipulates the ball "like Gareth Bale".

The now-retired Welshman – who also typically operated on the flanks – is a figure who needs no real introduction, having scored 72 goals and provided 58 assists in 237 games for the north Londoners across two spells.

To think that the Lilywhites could potentially be able to line up Bale's heir apparent – and a dream partner for Solomon – with the addition of Mitoma is a truly mouthwatering prospect, indeed.

Arsenal have had their transfer window dominated by the future of Declan Rice, however, news emerging this week has linked another midfielder to the club in Youssouf Fofana.

Mikel Arteta and Edu will aim to strengthen the title-challenging side of last season this summer, in the bid to keep the Gunners among Europe’s best with Champions League involvement pending.

The Emirates should expect to see a complete renovation of the midfield next campaign, with both incomings and outgoings expected this transfer window.

As reported by the Daily Mail, AS Monaco midfielder Youssouf Fofana could be a player eyed by the club.

The report states that the 24-year-old could emerge as a ‘potential alternative option’ should the Gunners fail to land the signing of Rice this summer.

It was added by reports in France that Monaco value their player at €35m (£30m), with Newcastle and West Ham also named as Premier League clubs interested.

What could Youssouf Fofana offer to Arsenal?

In the midst of the transfer saga surrounding the north Londoners’ summer targets, players have been linked with a move away from the Emirates, with both Granit Xhaka and Thomas Partey speculated to depart.

Xhaka was given an unofficial farewell by fans in the final game of the season at the Emirates, with news prior to the end of the calendar linking him with a move back to the Bundesliga.

Partey however has been rumoured to be in the view of Saudi Arabian clubs, with Fabrizio Romano reporting that an exit is ‘possible’, sparking rumours that Rice may not be the only midfielder that could make his way to Arsenal.

Hailed as a “powerhouse” by scout Antonio Mango, Fofana could be a perfect suitor for Arteta should he lose the Ghanaian this summer, with the Frenchman possessing similar strengths to the 30-year-old.

When comparing the two via FBref, it’s clear to see how the 24-year-old could fit into Arteta’s plans, with him adding a significant presence in the engine room with his ability.

Playing in the Spaniard’s title-challenging side, Partey averaged an impressive 8.37 progressive passes per 90 and 1.23 progressive carries, showing strength in areas integral to how Arsenal play out from deep midfield.

The Monaco ace scores similarly to the Ghanaian, making 6.94 progressive passes per 90 and topping Partey in terms of carries with an average of 2.36 per 90, signalling the ways he could flourish at the Emirates.

As per FBref, Arsenal’s number five comes out marginally on top with 2.54 tackles to Fofana’s 2.36 tackles per 90 in Ligue 1, however, the Paris-born gem tips the £160k-per-week star with 1.63 interceptions to his average of 1.10 per 90.

Some of those numbers just so happen to be better than fellow target Rice, who has made 2.17 tackles per 90 and 6.60 progressive passes over the last year.

As claimed by the Daily Mail, the Gunners’ pursuit of the Frenchman could be determined by their success in capturing Rice’s signature, however, there is little to deny that the 24-year-old could add a host of talent to the Spaniard’s depth in midfield.

Glasgow Rangers target Cyriel Dessers is keen on making the move to Ibrox this summer, according to reliable reporter Scott Burns.

What’s the latest Rangers transfer news involving Dessers?

Michael Beale has made a quick start to the club’s summer transfer plans by bringing in four players already. The Gers have signed goalkeeper Jack Butland, full-back Dujon Sterling and attacking midfielder Kieran Dowell on free transfers. The club have also spent some money by bringing in forward Sam Lammers from Italian side Atalanta for €3.5m.

Despite already bolstering the attacking ranks, Beale and Rangers seemingly want to strengthen their option in the final third even further, with Dessers a real target.

A bid was submitted for the Cremonese forward earlier this month, although a report recently stated that the player has said no to a move to Scotland and favours remaining in Italy.

However, that doesn’t appear to be the case in a fresh transfer twist shared by Burns. Writing for The Daily Record, the reporter said:

“Dessers remains keen on a move to Ibrox and is waiting for Rangers to make another offer.

“Reports in Italy claimed the Nigerian international had turned down a switch to Ibrox. Sources close to all sides of the deal are adamant that is not the case. Dessers is very much keen on a move to Scotland and for the chance to play in the Champions League.

“Rangers have already made multiple bids for the striker but have still to reach an agreement with Cremonese. The Ibrox side are expected to go back in for the 28-year-old but won’t be rushed into a deal.”

Who is Cyriel Dessers?

Dessers, hailed as "phenomenal" by members of the media, is 28 years of age and is an out-and-out centre-forward. The Nigeria international previously plied his trade in Belgium and the Netherlands before moving to Italy with Cremonese last summer.

In total, Dessers has made 280 club appearances throughout his career, scoring 111 goals and registering 40 assists. As per FBref, the striker ranks in the 92nd percentile for touches in the penalty area and 93rd for goals per shot on target, showing how he can be a real danger in the box.

He certainly knows where the back of the net is and has been described as someone who is “awkward to play against” because of his physical strength by journalist Josh Bunting, so he could prove to be a smart signing, joining Lammers in the process.

Leeds United are still searching for their next manager to lead the squad in their Championship campaign next season, and it has been reported that the search will enter its final stages this week ahead of making a decision.

The Whites parted company with their third-appointed manager of the season Sam Allardyce after suffering relegation from the Premier League last month and will be looking for the perfect manager to achieve automatic promotion over the 46-game campaign next season.

Former Leicester City boss Brendan Rodgers was one of the hottest prospects for Leeds and had been heavily speculated with a move to Elland Road, however, on Sunday evening it was confirmed that the 50-year-old coach will return to Scotland where he will reunite with Celtic upon agreeing a deal.

As a result, that ship has sailed for the 49ers, and now they must focus on other candidates who can provide the experience needed, improve the performances and boost the confidence of the Leeds squad, with a number of options still available on their short-list.

One coach who has been touted with a move to West Yorkshire and, like Rodgers, is Premier League proven is former Brighton and Hove Albion coach Graham Potter, who was sacked by Chelsea at the beginning of April.

Would Graham Potter be a good fit for Leeds?

There is no doubt that Potter is one of the most respected English managers in the game right now as his work at Brighton in developing the club into a Premier League established side is widely recognised.

Over his 143 fixtures in charge, the 46-year-old coach – hailed a "genius" by journalist Sam Morton – tallied up 43 victories and 43 draws, accumulating 172 points during his time on the south coast, which is an impressive achievement.

Even more impressive is Potter's ability to get the very best out of young and upcoming talent, playing an important role in the development of Moises Caicedo, Alexis Mac Allister, Marc Cucurella, Leandro Trossard, Adam Webster and Tariq Lamptey – with all but Mac Allister being signed during Potter's reign.

As a result, the Englishman could be the perfect coach to polish and get the very best from the budding talent at Elland Road with the club boasting a number of exciting young players including Wilfried Gnonto, Joe Gelhardt, Crysencio Summerville and Tyler Adams.

With that being said, it would be a no-brainer to appoint Potter if the opportunity presents itself this summer as his experience would not only improve Leeds' chances of promotion but could seriously improve the young prospects at the club with a bright future ahead of them.

Everton are keen on a deal to bring Coventry City striker Viktor Gyokeres to the Premier League, according to reports.

Is Viktor Gyokeres leaving Coventry?

The Swedish international was a standout star at the Building Society Arena last season after establishing himself as Mark Robins’ top-performing offensive player, and with his contract expiring in 12 months time, he could be set for a big-money exit in the weeks ahead.

Sky Sports have reported that the Bluebirds will be looking for offers in excess of £17m in order to sanction the 25-year-old’s sale during the upcoming window, and his impressive form after being named the second-highest goalscorer in his division is bound to attract plenty of interest.

The Merseyside outfit and Sean Dyche are likely to enter the market for a new centre-forward due to the consistent injuries to Dominic Calvert-Lewin and the uncertainty hanging over Neal Maupay, who’s been linked with a move to Salernitana, and they could well have identified an ideal target in the Midlands.

Are Everton signing Gyokeres?

According to Portuguese outlet A Bola (via Sport Witness), Everton are “interested” in a summer swoop for Gyokeres. Sporting CP are also eyeing a deal for the Coventry striker, hence the report from Portugal, but with them only being willing to pay a fee less than their target’s price tag, teams in the English top-flight are likely to hold an advantage.

The Toffees have been “keen” on the attacker since last year and are “determined” to add to their ranks in the final third, but it remains to be seen whether they too would be able to afford Gyokeres.

Should Everton sign Gyokeres?

Sunderland manager Tony Mowbray has been full of praise for Gyokeres, describing him as “powerful” and even comparing his qualities to those of Manchester City’s Erling Haaland, so should the centre-forward put pen to paper, he could be a fantastic recruit for Everton.

The 6 foot 2 titan posted a remarkable 31 goal contributions (21 goals and ten assists) in 46 Championship appearances throughout the previous campaign, with his displays seeing him pick up an outstanding ten man-of-the-match awards.

Coventry’s talisman, who is a versatile operator with his ability to play in six different positions, was also a threat even when the ball didn’t hit the back of the net having recorded a total of 191 shot-creating actions, which was higher than any of his fellow teammates, as per FBRef, so it would be a massive coup for Dyche if he was to make the move to Goodison Park.
