‘Worst player ever’ – Some Newcastle fans tear into 28-yr-old after tonight’s display
Newcastle United crashed to a 2-1 defeat against Leeds United at home earlier tonight and the fans will be disappointed with the showing once again. The Magpies have now failed to win their last 11 games in all competitions.

Steve Bruce will probably count his side unlucky because of the fact that they hit the crossbar twice but Newcastle were extremely mediocre throughout the game and they deserved to end up on the losing side. The fans were particularly disappointed with the performance of Jeff Hendrick. The 28-year-old was quite poor against Villa a...

Report: Hammers want Leeds striking target, Steve Bruce keen too
According to The Guardian, Spezia striker M’Bala Nzola has attracted interest from West Ham United and Newcastle United following his impressive start to life in the Serie A. The 24-year-old has bagged nine goals and an assist in 13 games for the Italian outfit so far in 2020-21, and Napoli are also keeping tabs on him as a result. Leeds United have also been linked with Nzola, but it doesn’t appear that the Elland Road outfit are keen on pursuing a deal during the January transfer window given the plethora of attacking options available at the disposal of head coach Marcelo Bielsa.

Report: Leeds keen on 24-yr-old Premier League player who will cost €40m
Wolverhampton Wanderers winger Adama Traore has been linked with a move away from the Premier League club this month. According to Spanish publication Sport, the player could look to leave this month in search of regular first-team football. Apparently, Traore is looking to establish himself in the national team squad ahead of the Euros this summer and he needs to play more often.

‘Just toxic for the club’: Many Leeds fans react to what Bielsa has just said
Marcelo Bielsa has provided his full support to Leeds United goalkeeper Kiko Casilla despite his horrendous performance against Crawley Town on Sunday.

Illan Meslier is the club’s first-choice keeper and the young French stopper has conceded a lot of goals, still learning to adjust to the Premier League. There have been suggestions that Bielsa could try young Elia Caprile, but Bielsa has made it clear that Casilla retains his full trust. you get the feeling that Bielsa thinks Casilla served his punishment and should be allowed to move forward or put it behind him. Has a very high opinion of him, despite that. But in reality, sections o...
