Leeds United are having a good time under Daniel Farke after a 3-0 win over Watford on Saturday placed them into the top six of the Championship.
The Whites have won three and drawn two of their previous five league games. They had four consecutive clean sheets and deserved to win against the Hornets.
They now have 13 points from eight games, placing them sixth in the rankings by goal difference. They are one of four teams with 13 points, ranging from fifth-placed Sunderland to eighth-placed Norwich City.
Next up is a trip to Southampton, who have seen a significant drop in form in recent weeks. The transfer market may be closed, but the rumour mill is still churning, with the most recent Leeds transfer news compiled below.
Grey is ‘interested’ in joining Crystal Palace.
Crystal Palace are interested in signing Leeds midfielder Archie Grey, according to Alan Nixon of the Daily Mail.
Grey, who turns 17 in March, is having a breakout season at Elland Road. He has started seven of the club’s eight Championship games, coming off the bench in Saturday’s 3-0 victory against Watford.
Grey signed a two-and-a-half year contract with Elland Road in March that will last through the summer of 2025. Due to his age, it was the longest contract duration Leeds could offer the player, with the Whites entitled to offer him another extension after he turned 18 in March.
Lumley began his career at Leeds before moving to Southampton.
Southampton keeper Joe Lumley trained with Leeds United before signing a one-year contract with the Saints, according to The Athletic.
After being released by Middlesbrough, the 28-year-old joined the Saints last month. However, it has been reported that while still a free agent, he briefly trained with Leeds during the summer.
The Whites recruited Newcastle United goalkeeper Karl Darlow to bolster their goalkeeping options, with Illan Meslier currently holding the post. Lumley has yet to play a league game for Southampton since joining the club.
