‘Feel like I’m dreaming’: Some Leeds fans react to what Bielsa has just said
Leeds have now suffered back to back defeats in the Premier League, but they have a chance to return to winning ways in the midweek. The Whites lost 3-1 against Chelsea and suffered a 2-1 defeat at home against West Ham on Saturday. They now face Newcastle United – who are heading into this match on the back of a 2-1 win against West Brom – on Wednesday night at Elland Road. Leeds find themselves 14th in the Premier League, and have managed just one win at home thus far. There have been suggestions that opposition teams have found a way to counter Leeds’s style, while some pundits have even questioned Bielsa’s odd strategy of naming his team out publicly before the match against the Hammers. Ahead of the clash against the Magpies, Bielsa has revealed that he would refrain from naming...
Report: Leeds and Newcastle among clubs chasing highly rated defender
Leeds United and West Ham United are thought to be keen on signing Milton Keynes Dons’ starlet Matthew Sorinola. The talented young full-back has made quite an impression this season and he could prove to be a quality long term investment for the two Premier League clubs. According to Team Talk, the likes of Newcastle United are interested in the young defender as well and it will be interesting to see if they can lure him away from Milton Keynes in the coming months. Matthew Sorinola has a big future ahead of him and needs to join a club where he can play regular first-team football and continue his development. The youngster is highly talented but he is not ready for Premier League football just yet and therefore his suitors should look to sign him and then loan him back to Milton Keynes...
Report: Wolves plotting January move for £150k-a-wk striker who wants NUFC move

Report: Newcastle plotting January loan move for English defender
According to Chronicle Live, Newcastle United are keen on bringing Manchester United defender Brandon Williams to St. James’ Park on loan in January till the end of the season. The 20-year-old is currently struggling for playing opportunities at Old Trafford despite featuring in 36 games across all competitions last season, and a temporary exit when the winter transfer window opens next month appears to be on the cards. Williams has found himself behind Alex Telles and Luke Shaw in manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s pecking order at left-back, while Aaron Wan-Bissaka is the undisputed first-choice at right-back.

Report: Newcastle identify 26-yr-old as January target, player could be open to the move
Newcastle United are reportedly looking to bring Jetro Willems back to the club when the transfer window re-opens in January. The 26-year-old left-back was on loan at St James’ Park last season but his stay at the club was cut short when he picked up a season-ending injury.

The Dutchman has now managed to recover from his knee injury and he is back in training with his parent club, Eintracht Frankfurt. Newcastle had explored the possibility of signing him earlier this season as well but he was still recovering from his injury and would not have passed the medical during the summer transfer window.

Report: Newcastle plotting January move for England international
According to the Daily Telegraph, Newcastle United are keen on bringing Chelsea centre-back Fikayo Tomori to St. James’ Park on loan in January. The one-cap England international has played just 45 minutes of Premier League football for the Blues in 2020-21, with his other two appearances coming in the League Cup games against Barnsley and Tottenham Hotspur. He is finding it difficult to make manager Frank Lampard’s matchday squads in recent weeks, and Tomori will miss out on the Three Lions’ squad for next summer’s European Championships if he doesn’t get playing minutes to impress in the coming months. Newcastle are offering him the chance to prove himself all over again to Gareth Southgate during the second half of the season, though. The 22-year-old was close to joining Everton and the...
Report: Newcastle could look to bring 26-yr-old back to the Premier League in January
Newcastle could look to re-sign Nabil Bentaleb when the transfer window reopens in January. The 26-year-old midfielder was on loan at the Premier League club last season. According to Sport1, the player has recently been suspended by Schalke for the fifth time and his agent has taken a swipe at the German club. Apparently, the midfielder will be available for a nominal fee in January and Newcastle might look to bring him back to the club. Bentaleb has started just five league games for Schalke this season and he has been quite poor in them. There is no doubt that Newcastle need to add more depth to their central midfield but Bentaleb would be an uninspiring signing for them. The former Tottenham midfielder was highly rated a few years ago but he has failed to achieve his potential. He...
