Leeds United’s and its Championship rivals’ transfer windows are already closed, but the rumor mill will keep turning until they reopen in January.
After this Friday at 11 p.m., clubs will still have the opportunity to sign free players, but for the most part, they will have to make do with their current roster for the next four months.
Leeds had a busy summer transfer window as the Whites added new players to the roster and let go of a few players. Leeds defeated Hull City and Sheffield Wednesday 2-0 in their most recent league matchups after opening the season with back-to-back draws.
Now that the first international break of the season has begun, Championship and Premier League clubs will have a break in their domestic schedule. The most recent transfer rumors and news from Leeds United and a few of its Championship opponents are compiled below.
Leeds United ‘sign’ pre-contract with youthful star.
Leeds United have allegedly negotiated a pre-contact with Nigerian player Leonard Ngenge who has already inked the contract to move to Elland Road down the line. According to Alan Nixon’s story on Sunday, Leeds was aiming to reach a deal with Ikorodu City for the young player, who has apparently drawn interest from other teams as well. Nixon said that a settlement has now been reached in a subsequent post.
A pre-contract has been signed since Ngenge is rumored to have had a trial with Leeds in the not-too-distant past. However, it’s crucial to remember that any agreement would constitute a future move. This is due to the fact that Ngenge is still just 16 years old, and FIFA regulations specify that players cannot relocate overseas until they are 18 years old.
About Whyte’s contract termination, Mousinho speaks candidly.
The manager of Portsmouth, John Mousinho, has acknowledged that it was the “best thing to do” to end Gavin Whyte’s contract. The News, our sister publication, claims that Whyte’s contract was terminated two years early in exchange for a monetary settlement. The decision to terminate his contract was made in advance of the transfer deadline of 11 p.m. and then made public.
Mousinho stated: “We probably decided it was the best thing to do with Gavin over the last week.” In terms of how to go, it was fairly cordial, and we believed that it would benefit both of us. He was quite happy with how things worked out and completely okay with it.”
