This summer, Daniel Farke and the transfer department will have a number of decisions to make on the handful of senior Leeds United players that left last summer on loan using Victor Orta’s clause. Orta decided to include clauses in a number of Leeds contracts that in the event of relegation, allowed a few players to leave the club on loan without The Yorkshire club being able to prevent an immediate exit. It was probably designed to cut the wage bill but what it meant in reality was that players who had played a key part in the club being relegated jump ship, Leeds unable to sell them for cas...

Leeds United, Southampton, West Bromwich Albion and Norwich City are the four confirmed sides taking part in this season’s Championship play-offs. The Whites had still been hopeful of securing a place in the top two going into last Saturday’s final day but in the end, were comfortably pipped to second spot by Ipswich Town. After such a poor end to the season, Martin O’Neill now thinks Daniel Farke has a big job on his hands picking his side back up for the play-offs. Farke is set to lead Leeds against his former club Norwich in the semi-finals, and will be looking for a repeat of their regular...

Jesse Marsch says one Leeds United player currently out on loan needs to leave the club permanently in the summer and expects plenty of teams to be interested. Leeds will have to sort out the future of a number of players currently out on loan this summer after they left Elland Road using Victor Orta’s relegation clause, meaning Leeds were powerless to prevent an exit. It meant Daniel Farke was unable to cash in on any unwanted players in order to raise his own transfer funds. Diego Llorente and Rasmus Kristensen went to Roma on loan, initially under Jose Mourinho. Max Wober, Robin Koch and Br...

Leeds United get their play-off campaign underway on Sunday afternoon as they go to Norwich City in the first leg of their semi-final tie and Jesse Marsch has had his say. Daniel Farke’s side take on his old team at Carrow Road this weekend after failing to hold onto second in the Championship. Four losses in the last six games saw Ipswich overtake Leeds to go up automatically. It sees Leeds go into the play-offs and before the weekend’s games, Farke’s men would have been facing Carlos Corberan. The former Elland Road coach has taken the Baggies to fifth in the Championship table. Norwich lost...

Chris Sutton has named the two Leeds United players Norwich City will have to stop in the Championship play-offs. Daniel Farke will be leading Leeds to face his former club for the third and fourth time respectively in a two-legged semi-final for a place at Wembley against either Southampton or West Bromwich Albion. Neither side will be entering the play-offs in particularly good form, with Norwich having limped over the line to finish in sixth place, winning none of their last three. Leeds, meanwhile, endured a horror drop off in form during the latter stages of the season, which ultimately s...

Chris Sutton has shared his thoughts on how Norwich City players will be feeling ahead of facing Leeds United in the play-offs. The two sides are set to go head-to-head in a two-legged semi-final where the winner will be rewarded with a trip to Wembley to face either Southampton or West Bromwich Albion. On top of the already intense nature of a play-off fixture, there are a number of extra little storylines in the tie between Leeds and Norwich, none more so than Daniel Farke returning to his old club again. Having also completed a league double over Norwich in the regular season, Leeds will al...

Luke Ayling and Junior Firpo have both responded after hearing that a player that left Leeds United last season is closing in on a League title, with promotion already secured. Leeds waved goodbye to 16 players last summer whether that be on loan, for a transfer fee or players that saw their contracts expire. Tyler Adams left for Bournemouth for a fee north of £20m last summer. Eight senior players left on loan thanks to Victor Orta’s relegation loan clause, including the likes of Max Wober, Marc Roca and Rasmus Kristensen who have moved to Germany, Spain and Italy this season. Others left at ...

Leeds United will be busy preparing for Sunday’s play-off semi-final against Norwich City at Carrow Road and it is crucial the Whites avoid defeat with one player crucial to securing a result. Leeds failed to hold onto second in the final few games of the season as Kieran McKenna’s Ipswich took advantage of Daniel Farke’s men losing four of their last six Championship matches to climb above Leeds. It means The Whites go into the play-offs this month and while there is disappointment that Farke could not deliver automatic promotion, it is still a huge achievement given the mess he inherited las...

Daniel Farke will lead Leeds against his former club Norwich in a two-legged tie, while Southampton will face West Brom. Leeds and Southampton both completed league doubles over their semi-final opponents in the league season, but that ultimately counts for nothing at this stage, as the White...

Leeds United will know what division they are playing in by the end of May. The Whites were forced to settle for a place in the Championship play-off spots after missing out on automatic promotion to Ipswich Town due to a poor end to the season. With the summer already fast approaching, those behind-the-scenes will already be putting plans in place so Leeds can enter the transfer window well prepared. However, Leeds’ recruitment staff will need to plan for two eventualities, as it is still very much unclear whether they will be a Premier League side again come August. Promotion would, of cours...
