‘He should be proud’: Lampard raves about Leeds star who is ‘playing very well’
Frank Lampard has showered heaps of praise on Patrick Bamford ahead of Chelsea’s Premier League clash against Leeds United on Saturday at Stamford Bridge. Bamford joined the Blues in 2012 from Nottingham Forest and spent five seasons at the London club. However, he didn’t make any single appearance for Chelsea and spent loan spells at six different clubs during that time. Lampard has said that Bamford had ‘great finishing ability’ in those early stages at Chelsea. The Blues boss suggests that Bamford didn’t make the cut in the star-studded Chelsea squad due to the fierce competition at the club. However, he feels that the 27-year-old should be proud of his achievement. This is what Lampard has said about Bamford, as quoted by Football London: “Yes, I remember him well. He trained with us q...
Eberechi Eze named Crystal Palace Player of the Month
Eberechi Eze has expressed his delight after he was named Crystal Palace’s W88 Player of the Month for November. “It’s a great privilege and I’m grateful the fans have been entertained by my performances. It’s a great pleasure. “Leeds was a huge game for me. It was the perfect opportunity for me to come in and to stake my claim. It was a great performance by the boys, great points on the board.” The summer signing shone for netting his first Premier League goal in style, rifling home a free-kick against Leeds United at the start of the month and bagging an assist in the same game. Frustrating results followed for the Eagles, but fans felt Eze stood out, choosing him for the POTM accolade with almost 64% of the vote. Eze beat Nathaniel Clyne (10%) to first place in the vote after the defend...

‘He’s healthy’: Bielsa delivers positive update on Leeds player…but won’t play vs Chelsea
Leeds United will travel to Stamford Bridge to face Chelsea in the Premier League clash on Saturday evening, and Marcelo Bielsa will be hoping to keep the winning run going. Ahead of the match, Bielsa has delivered the latest fitness news. The Argentine has confirmed that Diego Llorente has recovered fully. The Spaniard – who joined the Yorkshire club during the summer transfer window – has struggled with a groin injury that he picked up in October. He hasn’t played a game since, and it looks like he will have to wait for a while to make his Leeds debut. Although he has recovered completely, Bielsa is not looking to rush him. The Argentine has made it clear that he wants the 27-year-old to regain match fitness by playing for the U23 side before he features for the first team. Therein...

BBC pundit raves about Leeds player who could be a ‘perfect replacement’ for Liverpool star
Popular football pundit Garth Crooks has praised Leeds United midfielder Kalvin Phillips, suggesting that he reminds him of former great Manchester United player, Bryan Robson. Phillips was simply outstanding last weekend as Leeds won 1-0 against Everton at Goodison Park. His influential display helped the Whites secure their first win in four games with Raphinha’s long-range strike making the difference between the two sides. Leeds missed Phillips through injury against Leicester City and Crystal Palace, and the Whites conceded four goals in each of them. However, it is no coincidence that the England international’s return to action has seen a marked difference in performance from Leeds. Phillips was simply superb with his passing, tackling and boisterous energy in the middle of the...

Report: Leeds want Europa League-winning manager & Radrizanni’s favourite as next boss
According to The Sun, Leeds United want Sevilla manager Julen Lopetegui to replace Marcelo Bielsa at Elland Road if the Argentine leaves when his current contract ends. The 65-year-old guided the Whites to Premier League promotion at the end of last season after failing in his first attempt in 2018-19, and he signed a new contract to remain at the club for the 2020-21 campaign. Bielsa is in his third season at Leeds, and it remains to be seen if he will be keen to stay for 2021-22. The Yorkshire giants would love to hold on to him for as long as possible given how he has turned things around since his arrival, but they have got a contingency plan in place should he opt to move on, with Gerrard also considered by Leeds management. The Sun claims that Lopetegui is a favourite of Leeds owner ...

Leeds United will travel to Goodison Park on Saturday afternoon to face Everton in the Premier League. Marcelo Bielsa’s side are winless in their last three Premier League games (two defeats and a draw) and they will be looking to return to winning ways. Ahead of the game, the Argentine has delivered the latest injury update (as relayed by Phil Hay of The Athletic).
