The Athletic bekrefter utlån i dag;


Leeds United's Harry Gray joins Rotherham on loan until end of the season

Leeds United's Harry Gray has joined Rotherham United on loan for the remainder of the 2025-26 season.

The Athletic reported on Wednesday Rotherham had finalised a move for Gray and the club later confirmed the move.

The 17-year-old, brother of Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Archie, is expected to be available for their weekend fixture.

The South Yorkshire outfit are 21st in League One, five points from safety, and travel to Stockport County on Saturday afternoon.

The loan will run to the end of the season, with Leeds and Gray hopeful that a long-awaited taste of senior football will aid his development. Matt Hamshaw, the Rotherham manager, was asked about the links to Gray after his side's 3-0 loss to Huddersfield Town in the Football League Trophy on Tuesday night.

He said, per the Rotherham Advertiser: "We've been linked to a number of players. We'll just have to wait and see. I like a lot of players."

Gray signed his first professional contract last October, after turning 17. He has scored prolifically throughout United's youth categories and has continued to be a force with the club's under-21s this season.

A taste of senior men's football, in front of crowds and with points at stake, is what Leeds feel he needs next in his development. Rotherham's New York Stadium is a 48-mile drive from the Leeds training ground, so his family and support network will remain nearby as he takes his next steps.

Elendig av Perri! Livsfarlig på innlegg imot med han i mål, slår berre langt, men shotstopping burde han iallfall få til.
Men så står han og roper på at dommer må blåse av kampen, følger halvveis med, og presterer å ikkje komme seg ned i tide til å ta den lumpa til slutt:xxx

Trua er tilbake etter halvannen omgang i ein strålande formasjon!
Dette ser ut som eit vendepunktX Leeds ser virkelig ut som et solid lag, med Ampadu leading the line;
For ein mann, for ein kaptein!

Bra med samme lagoppstilling som sist, som forventa med vinnerlaget

Blytungt med 0 poeng, og spesielt når det skuldast sjølvmål på overtid av vår etterlengta defensivt gode venstreback.
Knalltungt, men vi var eit par minutt frå å holde 0en i 3 av 4 PL-kamper so langt, det defensive ser solid ut!
Og Darlow ser mykje tryggare ut enn Perri.
Farke hylla lagets innsats, backer de godt opp, viktig når Gabriel G tok til tårene i garderoben.
Likevel er det som alle påpeikar mangelfullt offensivt. Høge baller mot enslig spiss ute av kampform blir det lite av. Ingen skikkelig dødballfot på laget heller. Lange innkast frå leiaren vår Ampadu ser nesten ut som vårt «beste» offensive skyts.
Men Okafor kan få utretta ting på egenhånd, og DCL i kampform vil forhåpentligvis få litt uttelling og.
Det er likevel eit stort steg ned å ikkje få inn meir offensivs skyts, for dette laget rykka ned med spelarar som Rodrigo, Rutter og Summerville.
Håper ligg likevel i Farke, han er stødig og evner å få det beste ut av spelarar.

Bra med 1-0 seier for Wales borte mot Kasakhstan, topper gruppa og VM-håpet lever!
Einaste Leeds spelar frå start, Karl Darlow, kåres til BB av FotMob. James kom inn etter 65.

Skulle det ikkje være live sending frå Don't go to bed just yet i de siste to timene? Ingenting på BBC Leeds, andre tips?

Adam Pope:
Leeds target Fulham winger Harry Wilson, 28, who is currently with Wales. Can play across front three although regarded as a right winger. Has featured in all four of Fulham's games so far this season. Leeds refute they had loan bid for Emi Buendia rejected.

Gratulerer med god poengfangst so langt og ein solid prestasjon i dag. Og det utan Ampadu!
Harrison&DCL imponerte og kjenner kvarandre tydeligvis godt frå tida i Everton ut frå samspelet. DCL i full kampform gleder eg meg stort til!
Backene våre ser veldig bra ut, og bra med konkurranse av JJ i tillegg.
Håper Bijol får tillit og kan bli ein oppgradering frå Struijk. Og at Okafor kan ta over venstrevingen, sjølv om det såg veldig tamt ut mot Sheff Wed. Evt Solomon inn og.
Blir veldig spennande innspurt av overgangsvinduet, eg trur DCL kan bli gull som vår 9er så lenge han er skadefri, Nmecha&Piroe ok backup. Men kreativitet i ein 10er posisjon mangler klart.

Utgjort med Bunanotte, so close! Og at Chelsea faktisk henter han på lån uten opsjon for kjøp, må han virkelig ha stor kapasitet allerede denne sesongen.
Her er deler av kveldens sak frå Athletic, og det nevnes 4 andre spelarar, (b.a. BEK som ikkje er med i troppen under kveldens kamp for Leicester);

Chelsea have agreed a deal to sign Facundo Buonanotte on a season-long loan after Leeds United saw their move for the Brighton & Hove Albion attacking midfielder collapse.

It will be a straight loan deal with no option to make the move permanent.

Leeds had a flight booked for Thursday afternoon to bring Buonanotte to West Yorkshire, but he never boarded.

Brighton had been in talks with Leeds for a loan move that kept the Argentina international in the Premier League, which would secure him homegrown status from January. The top-flight newcomers were confident a deal was in place with club and player, with a medical booked for Buonanotte's arrival.

However, it is the Club World Cup champions who have now agreed a deal to sign Buonanotte, who registered six goals and three assists in 35 games on loan at Leicester City last season.
...
The 11th-hour collapse of Leeds' deal leaves them short of options as the transfer deadline approaches. Daniel Farke has made no secret of his desire to see attacking reinforcements before Monday at 7pm BST.

Bilal El Khannouss, Dilane Bakwa, Eduard Spertsyan and Manor Solomon are all players Leeds are known to have an interest in.

Joelinton og Tonali ute med skader+Gordon suspendert;
Oddsen blir stadig lavere for poeng til Leeds i helga

Ja, da var skikkelig skrell for Newcastle, og gode nyheter for oss!
No må de ommøblera for å få ein ny mann framme, kanskje Joelinton.
Men de pressa Lpool veldig fram til mål  i mot, blir ein tøff kamp mot dei uanz for Leeds..
Og 0-2 allereie! Herlig, håper krisestemningen med Isak mm kan prega dei no

0 redninger på Perri

Ja, 0 redninger. Seier kanskje litt om Perri som burde iallfall hatt 1, men og at de har vore effektive.
Om ikkje de hadde fått 2-0 rett før pause kunne kampen blitt heilt annleis.

Bra om det er enighet med kontrakt til Okafor, men AC Milan bytta han inn etter 81 minutt i kveld så de har nok ikkje bestemt seg for å selga han endå iallfall

God kamp!
Og flott med alle som støtter LUTV, men kan òg tipse om at VG Sport har 30% på halvårsabonnement nå og 50% på helårs (79kr per måned) for å sjå slike kamper som den i dag:

Ein viss Højlund blir tilgjengelig for 30 millioner pund no. De selge med stort tap, men han 22-åringen kan bli noko når han får flytta på seg, og hadde vore spennnande å prøvd han på ER

Håper ikkje Gudmundsson får problem med kneet no:x
Men ja, har vore lite å sjå offensivt, til et heldig mål kom. Men etter det har det vore tendenser, Ramazani har ein x-faktor som kan få til ting, men Gnonto leverte bra og.
Er tross alt CL-motstand i dag så er ein god test for Leeds, men Schmidt stakkars holder ikkje nivået iallfall, mykje tryggare med Byram

Kampdag i morgen kl 16!
Håper Farke kjører inn ein foreløpig startellever, og ser kampen vises både på LUTV for 5 pund og VGTV+

Og Lufc informerer om at dette blir første gang ny matchday-music blir spilt (Marching On Together får flest berre 30 sekund i PL:o; men spilles ferdig før kick off)


«Leeds United will be making a change to the running order of matchday music, following supporter consultation.

After winning promotion back to the top-flight, the club has to play the Premier League Anthem as the players line-up, ahead of handshakes on the pitch (approximately 30 seconds after leaving the tunnel).

As a result of the above, Leeds, Leeds, Leeds (Marching on Together), the club's anthem and current walkout song would have to be stopped after 30 seconds for the Premier League Anthem.

Therefore, for the new season, Fanfare for the Common Man will be played, along with Strings for Yasmin as the players leave the tunnel and enter the pitch, followed by the Premier League Anthem. Once the Premier League Anthem has finished, Leeds, Leeds, Leeds (Marching on Together), will then be played in full, without any interruptions ahead of the match kicking-off.

This is an identical process which fellow Premier League sides Liverpool and Nottingham Forest, who also play their club anthems in full in the same way, use.

This change will be implemented for the first time in Saturday's match with Villarreal at Elland Road, which will be used as a test run through.

Thank you for your continued support, Marching on Together!

Tar med denne også

Leeds er ikke meldt å være inne i denne dealen lenger...

Uff. Nå hadde jeg avskrevet denne Raphinha kopien. Burde aldri lest dette...

Og de tok seg råd til han her, så kanskje vi får drømme at de ikkje har råd til Igoren likevel..
« Aubameyang tilbake til Marseille
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang har signert for Olympique de Marseille.
Det melder OM på sine nettsider.»

So far so good må ein sei med Leeds sitt transfervindu, stødig business, sjølv om ikkje det er dei aller største navna blant 7 incomings so langt og ingen 9er er på plass endå.
Og det gjer litt godt å lesa om vår første PL-motstander Everton kor Moyes ber om 6 signeringer, men de har endå ikkje fått nokon førstelagsspelarar endå sjølv om dei har mista 5 viktige spelarar;
https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/articles/c0j984yy3vjo

Ingenting nevnt om incomings for Leeds i dagens lange sak; «Welcome to the ninth edition of The Athletic's Transfer DealSheet for the summer 2025 transfer window».., men det var mest fokus på de «største» klubbene, deriblant nedrykkslaget Mu

For oss som ikkje er lei av snakket rundt dette som ser ut til å bli ein fantastisk spennande signering for oss, så deler eg ein times gammel artikkel frå TEAMtalk (som òg omtaler fleire signeringer, men det er uklart kven the £50m-rated striker er? Og ein out of contract Calvert-Lewin tenker eg kunne vore interessant her det satses på styrke og hodesterke spelarar, til tross for skadehistorikken hans som kan minna om Bamford):

Leeds in «final sprint»for HUGE Igor Paixao deal with Raphinha influence decisive -report

Leeds United are reported to have outgunned Marseille in the quest to sign Igor Paixao, with a blockbuster deal for the Feyenoord winger seemingly edging closer and with the Whites' former star Raphinha now being cited as having influenced his compatriot's decision.

Daniel Farke's side have already made seven new signings this summer as they build towards their return to the Premier League, with Saturday evening's capture of Brazilian goalkeeper Lucas Perri taking Leeds United's summer spree soaring beyond the £65m (€75m, $87m) mark.

However, the Whites are far from finished this summer and there is a growing feeling among supporters that their biggest and most eye-catching deals are still to come.

To that end, Leeds now appear in the driving seat to secure the signing of Feyenoord's electric winger Igor Paixao, who played a part in a hugely impressive 37 goals (18 scored, 19 assists) in 47 appearances for the Eredivisie side last season.

With seven of those (two goals, five assists) coming in the Champions League, it is little wonder the Brazilian winger finds himself a man in such high demand this summer and with Marseille and Roma also among his admirers.

But Leeds' desire seems the most insistent. And after it emerged on Saturday that the star was now favouring a move to Elland Road, those hopes escalated off the back of reports that Leeds had now launched an improved second bid for his services.

Now, according to trusted French newspaper, L'Equipe, Leeds are 'on the brink' of agreeing a deal for the winger with a second offer worth £28m (€34m, $37.6m) plus bonuses likely to be accepted by Feyenoord.

Claiming Leeds are now in the 'final sprint' towards his signing, the outlet claims Marseille are reluctant to meet Feyenoord's demands and can not substantiate claims that a third and improved bid is in the works from Roberto De Zerbi's side.

Furthermore, it's also being suggested that the Whites' former winger, Raphinha – who used his two-year stint at Elland Road as a springboard to Barcelona, where he is now regarded as one of the best players in the world – has played a part in helping persuade Paixao to pick West Yorkshire instead.

How Raphinha can help Leeds United sign Igor Paixao

There are certainly very obvious comparisons between Raphinha's situation when he joined Leeds in a £17m deal in 2020, compared to Paixao's situation now.

At the time, Raphinha moved to Elland Road having turned his back on Champions League football with Rennes, but feeling a move to Leeds would help him achieve his dreams of both a Brazil call-up and taking his career on to the next level. Indeed, while joining the Whites, Raphinha cited the influence of Brazilian icon, Ronaldinho, who is a personal family friend.

Two years later, and having established himself as a regular with Lo Selecao, Raphinha is now established as one of this year's Ballon d'Or contenders after a phenomenal season with Barcelona, who he helped win a domestic Treble.

Now The Athletic has revealed how in Leeds' talks with Paixao and his agent over a prospective move to Elland Road saw the Whites gain traction with the winger through their use of Raphinha's two-year spell in West Yorkshire as a prime example of why it would be Leeds can be that ideal next move.

And with Paixao himself already admitting that "Raphinha is a role model for me and for all Brazilians", it is now reported that the winger has spoken to his compatriot and sought his advice over the move to join Leeds and with the latter giving his seal of approval to his compatriot making the same move.

His signing for Leeds would certainly prove the most eye-catching of the summer window so far at Elland Road. And while the likes of Sean Longstaff, Jaka Bijol, Perri and Anton Stach give Leeds a physical presence, Paixao's arrival could potentially add the game-changing stardust to Farke's new-look XI.

Leeds transfer latest: Another £50m Brazilian wanted; Bamford exit decision praised

Meanwhile, Farke's decision to axe long-serving striker Patrick Bamford ahead of United's return to the Premier League has been praised by a pundit who claims the former England striker is a long way past his best, while serious questions have been asked about the motives of his wantaway teammate Mateo Joseph.

Elsewhere, the Whites have been given serious encouragement that a £50m-rated striker could be the next to move to Elland Road after it was revealed the player is aware of their interest and is open to the possible move.

In addition, it's also been revealed that Leeds also have a genuine interest in signing a Chelsea attacker, who has fallen down the pecking order in the wake of their summer signings of Liam Delap and Joao Pedro.

Jajaj, Paixao ville vært for lett i Premier League anyway 

Bakwa, Uche da kanskje, eller Harrison..    Salibari (om den er reell...)

Roma slår visst til med en 'lån med opsjon'...

Off, leit eventuelt, men kor leser du dette?

Relativ trygg signering for ein god deal ser det ut som, men det er ikkje de mest imponerande highlightsene de har klart å dele her frå ein heil karriere i moderklubben

«Burnley are preparing an £18m move for Norwich striker Josh Sargent, 25, though Leeds also remain interested in the USA international. (SportsBoom)»

Godt å ha fått fleire navn på plass, med optimistiske intervju på LUTV av Gudmundsson og solide Byram som får forlengelse. Versatile typer.
Det ser bra ut for bakre firer no, og mangler ellers mange fra bakerst til fremst i midtlinja, men so far so good i transfervinduet om Longstaff snart blir presentert og

The Athletic;
« Lyon's Lucas Perri and Mainz's Robin Zentner are on Leeds' shortlist...,

Lucas Perri, Lyon
Lyon are in limbo around their league status for next season. Inevitably, someone of Perri's reputation is going to be far easier to acquire if his club drops into France's second tier.
Perri conceded 44 goals in 33 appearances last season, but the data shows he should have conceded 47.8 — he prevented 3.8 goals. That ranked him sixth in Ligue 1.
The 27-year-old, who is 6ft 5in, has only had that one season in Europe, which may put off some clubs but in his final season with Botafogo, in Brazil, he was exceptional, preventing 13.1 goals in a single campaign.
Lyon's head coach, Paulo Fonseca, described him as "the best goalkeeper in the world" in March. Perri has been called up by Brazil too, but is yet to make his debut.
The other data available for Perri would suggest he is a goalkeeper who tends to stay on his line and tends to keep things relatively short with his distribution.

Robin Zentner, Mainz
The other name The Athletic knows Leeds have on their list. Zentner is a good example of someone who performed exceptionally last season, but for several years he was fairly mediocre in the Bundesliga.
The data shows he conceded 41 goals for Mainz against a PSxG of 45 and that had Zentner ranked fourth in the Bundesliga last season.
There was a similar overperformance in 2023-24, at a lower 2.2, but between 2017 and 2023, Zentner consistently conceded more goals than the data suggested he should. The graph below plots the goals prevented metric with a rolling 50-save average.
The statistics show he is a commanding goalkeeper, claims a lot of crosses and is generally happy to make sweeping actions far from his goal. Zentner ranked seventh of goalkeepers for the total number of defensive actions outside his penalty area last season.
The 30-year-old came close to winning his first call-up to the Germany squad in the spring. He's had arguably the best season of his career and clearly responded well to Bo Henriksen's coaching.
Henriksen has a reputation for taking pressure off his players and has generally been reassuring when they have made mistakes. Zentner is a big unit at 6ft 4in and has a reputation as a good shot-stopper.»

Ifølge TEAMtalk;
There have also been murmurs that Everton could try and sign Jack Harrison permanently this summer, following two seasons on loan with the club, and it is true that Moyes appreciates him for his work rate and attitude in training.

Leeds have made it clear to Harrison that he has no future at the club and the 28-year-old is very keen on re-joining the Toffees. A cut-price deal paid in instalments is a possibility but again, no final decision has been made, and he would likely be signed as a squad player rather than as a starter.

.., håper ikkje Harrison forsvinner på billigsalg iallfall, han kan levere i PL og er iallfall ein god backup på vingen

Romano deler dette, kanskje Beto-linken for Leeds blir meir aktuell no!
🚨 𝐇𝐄𝐑𝐄 𝐖𝐄 𝐆𝐎! Everton agree deal to sign Thierno Barry as new striker from Villarreal 💙

Package worth €35m plus add-ons, new forward for David Moyes with documents being signed in 24h.

Heilt vilt av Leedsfødte Haaland &Nusa&co i dag; VM i Mexico blir kick!
Og Alioski sin utligning mot Belgia er en stor push for at Wales vinner gruppa si med dagens målscorer Rodon+Ampadu&Darlow og James (som ikkje var med i dag); herlig!
