Leeds United lost 1-0 at home to Blackburn Rovers on Saturday, dropping them even farther in the Championship promotion race. The game’s lone goal, scored by Sammie Sczmodics in the 82nd minute, condemned Daniel Farke’s team to their first home loss of the season at the most inconvenient time.

With three games left, it’s still all to play for as both Leicester City and Ipswich Town dropped points in yet another exciting week of Championship action. Next Monday is the first of those for Leeds, and in the interim, the YEP has compiled some of the most recent news coming out of elland road.

Batshuayi’s “intention”
Leeds has shown itself as a “surprise suitor” for

, and the striker may sign with them this summer on a free transfer. According to Turkish publication Star, Batshuayi may decide to quit his present team, Fenerbahce, after his contract expires due to rumours of interest from England.

In 2023, Batshuayi signed a contract to join Fenerbahce for about £3 million, leaving Chelsea much worse off than when they paid £33 million for him six years earlier. In Turkey, the Belgian was able to get past his recent setbacks, making 68 appearances in all competitions and scoring an amazing 41 goals.

According to the source, Leeds is ‘interested’ in a free transfer if they are promoted to the Premier League, and while Fenerbahce is reportedly pondering a new contract, Batshuayi may go.

Right now, Mateo Joseph and Patrick Bamford are the two obvious choices at number nine.
Rodon’s price list

This summer, Joe Rodon is anticipated to depart Tottenham Hotspur permanently. According to Football Insider, a £10–15 million deal might be reached for the centre defender.
Since coming to Leeds on loan in the summer and starting virtually every game after missing the 3-1 loss to Southampton in September, Rodon has been excellent. The 26-year-old, who first partnered with Pascal Struijk and subsequently Ethan Ampadu, has been the lone constant in the finest defence in the Championship.
Although Rodon has been in terrific form, Tottenham does not appear to have improved their valuation despite their willingness to move him last summer.
