Here is your Leeds United morning digest for Monday, August 10.
Kinnear issues White update
Ben White loves Leeds United. Ben White loved playing for Leeds United. Ben White loved his Leeds United team-mates. Leeds United have an advantage.
Chief executive Angus Kinnear has outlined the club’s pursuit of Brighton & Hove Albion’s defender and how the Whites may yet get him back to West Yorkshire.
As well as how much White enjoyed all aspects of his experience at Elland Road, Kinnear also points out the guaranteed Premier League pitch time White will get under Marcelo Bielsa.
Roofe makes bold Leeds admission
Former Leeds United forward Kemar Roofe has explained how his time at Elland Road will help him prepare for his new club Rangers.
Roofe, who has just completed a move to the Scottish side, left the Whites at the end of the 2018/19 season after narrowly missing out on promotion to the Premier League.
The 27-year-old enjoyed a fantastic season under Marcelo Bielsa, scoring 14 times in the Championship and almost guided the Whites to the top-tier, but for a play-off semi-final defeat to Derby County.
The Jamaican was explaining how he is already experienced in playing for big clubs, such as Leeds and Anderlecht, as he prepares to make a positive impression at Ibrox.
Leeds set to miss out on Cavani
Edinson Cavani moving to Elland Road this summer has always seemed a bit ambitious, and it seems Leeds will be missing out on the former PSG striker.
Cavani is a free agent after being released by the French champions, and had been linked with a move to the Premier League with the Whites.
But Record in Portugal have reported that the Uruguay international is instead set to make the move to Benfica, having lowered his wage demands.
