‘Dereliction of his duties’ – The Athletic journo shares why Bielsa hasn’t signed Leeds contract
According to The Athletic’s Philip Buckingham, Leeds United head coach Marcelo Bielsa believes to be distracted by contract talks would be a dereliction of his duties with fixtures still to be fulfilled. The Whites have two more Premier League games left in the campaign, and the Argentine wants to remain fully focused ahead of the tasks ahead. With just a few months left on his current contract, Bielsa has been linked with the Tottenham Hotspur job as Jose Mourinho’s potential replacement, while Leeds have reportedly contacted AS Roma manager Paulo Fonseca as they make contingency plans should the 65-year-old walk away. However, it does not appear that Spurs will be getting their hands on the Argentine anytime soon. Bielsa is expected to sign another one-year deal once the season ends, and...

Alan Shearer’s three-word reaction as Steve Bruce pips Leeds boss to award
Newcastle United head coach has emerged as April’s Premier League manager of the month after guiding his side to two wins and two victories last month. The Magpies picked up eight points which proved enough in eventually steering them to safety, and not many would have seen them impressing against the calibre of opposition they faced. Newcastle started the month with a 2-2 draw against Tottenham Hotspur before securing impressive wins over Burnley and West Ham United. The St. James’ Park outfit ended April with a 1-1 draw with Liverpool, and they are now set to play Premier League football next season after March’s relegation scare. Newcastle boss pipped Leeds United’s Marcelo Bielsa, Manchester United’s Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and West Bromwich Albion’s Sam Allardyce to the gong, and former ...
SL View: Leeds could strike gold as they eye £50m hitman on Man Utd radar
Leeds United are interested in Slavia Prague forward Abdallah Sima ahead of the summer transfer window, according to Football Insider. The 19-year-old has been in fine form this term, scoring 19 goals in 36 games across all competitions. Sima’s form has not only attracted Leeds, with Everton, Arsenal, Manchester United, West Ham United, Paris Saint-Germain and Juventus also keen on the Senegalese. Slavia have already received a £25 million bid for the forward from an unnamed club, but they value him at £50m after slapping that price on his head in January. However, they are expected to accept a lesser fee this summer, and Leeds should not hesitate to go after his signature.

Leeds man reportedly on the verge of signing new Elland Road deal amidst Spurs links
Leeds United head coach Marcelo Bielsa is on the verge of agreeing a new deal at Elland Road, according to The Telegraph. The Argentine’s current contract ends at the end of the season, and he has been linked with succeeding Jose Mourinho at Tottenham Hotspur. Spurs are weighing up a move for Bielsa as they narrow down their list ahead of interviewing candidates for the job. However, the latest reports will end fears that the Leeds boss could walk away once his contract ends. The 65-year-old has signed one-year contracts ahead of every season since joining the Yorkshire giants in the summer of 2018, and he is now expected to do so once the campaign ends. Tottenham will have to strike Bielsa’s name off their target list from the look of things, and Leeds fans will be delighted with the late...
Borussia Dortmund reportedly big admirers of West Ham attacker as they eye move
According to The Sun, Bundesliga giants Borussia Dortmund are big admirers of West Ham United loanee Jesse Lingard and are eyeing a summer swoop. The Manchester United attacking midfielder has caught the eyes of suitors since impressing with the Hammers. Lingard has nine goals and three assists in 13 Premier League appearances for West Ham since joining in January, and while manager David Moyes would love to sign the £20 million-rated England international permanently, his £100,000-a-week deal could hamper a deal. Man Utd could now use the attacker in a deal to bring Jadon Sancho to Old Trafford should the Hammers opt against a permanent deal at the end of the season. Dortmund want around £100m for the winger, but that price could be brought down significantly with the inclusion of Lingard...
Spurs reportedly weighing up move for manager Pochettino called ‘my football father’

Spurs have been linked with many names since the Portuguese was shown the exit door last month, and the Argentine is one of the latest to be linked with the job. Bielsa is in his third season at Leeds and his deal expires at the end of the campaign. The 65-year-old has only signed one-year contracts since joining the Elland Road side, and he is expected to do so again this summer. That would not stop Spurs from sounding him out, and it remains to be seen whether they can get him interviewed as they prepare to talk to candidates in the coming days. Former Newcastle United manager Rafa Benitez is also on Tottenham’s rada...

Multimillionaire who attempted to buy NUFC in 2019 still keen on Premier League takeover
Santos Laguna chairman Alejandro Irarragorri has claimed he is still keen on owning a Premier League club two years after his attempts to buy Newcastle United fell through. The Mexican businessman owns the Grupo Orlegi company and has since added second-division Tampico Madero and first-division Club Atlas to his consortium’s football portfolio. Irarragorri met with Newcastle chairman Mike Ashley in 2019 and made three approaches to buy the Magpies. However, the Magpies owner moved the goalposts when the proposals were set for legal inspection. The multi-millionaire also looked at Crystal Palace before focusing on Newcastle and is hoping to complete a Premier League takeover someday. Irarragorri’s multi-club ownership model has yielded success in North America, and he is hoping to replicat...
