Leeds United might be in the Championship’s automatic promotion places by the end of the day, but they must first defeat Middlesbrough, who are in form. Daniel Farke’s side is currently third and needs to win two points on Ipswich Town to avoid the play-offs.

 

Leeds’ form has been erratic at best, but with only three games remaining, there can be no more slip-ups, and a win at the Riverside Stadium might be essential. Ahead of kickoff, The YEP has compiled a list of the most recent articles from Elland Road.

Longstaff price-tag

Newcastle United are reportedly ‘tempted’ to sell Sean Longstaff because to interest from Leeds. According to the Mirror, an offer of £10-15 million could be sufficient.

 

Leeds and Leicester are said to be interested in Longstaff, but a trade would only be possible if the club were promoted back to the Premier League. Daniel Farke’s side is well-stocked in central midfield, but they will require additional depth if they are to progress, having been left vulnerable at times this season.

Longstaff is one of several players on the outskirts at Newcastle, and their need for finances may prompt them to sell. The 26-year-old will enter the last 12 months of his contract at St. James’ Park this summer, thus, a deal could be done for a good price.

 

Phillips joined the Hammers on loan in January due to a lack of playing time at City, but the 28-year-old struggled at the London Stadium and lost his position in the England squad as a result. There is no option for a permanent deal, and David Moyes’ team is unwilling to negotiate a price.

 

Leeds have recently been linked with a bid for Phillips, who is due to leave City in the summer. The YEP knows that such a move is unlikely, as those in power at Elland Road are currently unable to commit the necessary sums.
