‘Already spoken with Bielsa’ – Phil Hay shares Leeds DoF’s exciting plans for summer
Leeds United have taken to life in the Premier League like a duck to water, and they are all but guaranteed another season in the top-flight following an impressive start to 2020-21. The Elland Road outfit suffered their 12th defeat of the campaign at the hands of Wolverhampton Wanderers last night, but they are five places and 13 points above the relegation zone. With 14 games still left to be played and just eight points away from the popular 40-point safety mark, Leeds will fancy their chances of finishing in the top half of the table. They have scored more goals (40) than any team currently below the top-six in the table, but only 19th-placed West Bromwich Albion have conceded more goals (55) than they have (43) in the whole of the division. Leeds will be keen to strengthen their squad...

Leeds receive boost to sign 31-cap int’l star after Euro club make transfer decision
German giants Bayern Munich have no interest in keeping Douglas Costa beyond this season, according to reports from Kicker. Costa joined the Bundesliga champions on loan from Juventus this summer. However, Bayern have no intention to make his loan deal a permanent one. His decision to join Bayern came as a big surprise. Bayern already boast two of the finest young wingers in Kingsley Coman and Serge Gnabry. On top of that, they also signed Leroy Sane from Manchester City on a big-money deal. Costa, who has made just three starts in Bundesliga, is unwanted at Turin and the Old Lady are looking to offload him in the summer. He is not in Andrea Pirlo’s first-team plans, with the club considering him surplus to requirements. Costa will enter the final year of his contract at the...
Leeds star shares why he rejected Harvard University for football
Leeds United striker Patrick Bamford is eyeing a maiden England call-up following his bright start to the 2020-21 Premier League campaign. The 27-year-old has 12 goals and five assists in 22 top-flight appearances since the Elland Road outfit secured promotion, and he is hoping that his form can help him to force his way into the plans of Three Lions manager Gareth Southgate ahead of the summer European Championship. It will be interesting to see what happens in the coming days and weeks, though, but Bamford could have been an alumnus of the prestigious Harvard University had things not gone his way in professional football. The Leeds star was once offered the chance to school at Harvard, but he always saw going to the university as a back-up plan. “The idea of going to play football at an...
