Leeds United news as Charles de Ketelaere AC Milan deal done and Whites fixture change

Here are the latest Leeds United morning headlines on Saturday, 30 July 2022.

CDK set for Milan

AC Milan are set to bring one of Leeds United’s longest running transfer sagas to an end after reaching a full agreement with Club Brugge for Charles de Ketelaere. That is according to Fabrizio Romano, who claims the deal could be signed off this weekend with a fee and personal terms having been agreed.

Leeds have had a bid on the table for de Ketelaere for several weeks now, but the 21-year-old has always made it clear his preferred destination lays at the San Siro. It now appears that Milan have got their man after finally matching Brugge’s asking price.

TV selections

Leeds United have revealed the latest round of fixtures selected for broadcast coverage and rearrangements up to the end of October. The Whites’ games against Aston Villa, Crystal Palace, Leicester City and Liverpool have all been selected for television coverage.

Also, in October, Leeds’ home game against Arsenal has been rearranged to compensate for the Gunners’ involvement in the Europa League as well as the Fulham game, which is also at Elland Road and has been moved because of the Leicester fixture change.

Gray agent on McGinn

It was during Leeds United's heated friendly clash with Aston Villa in Australia when John McGinn planted his studs into the right ankle of Archie Gray, leaving the 16-year-old in a heap on the floor. The young midfielder had only just entered the pitch but was stretchered off in tears moments later.

The youngster, who has generated so much excitement in his fleeting senior career, looked very distressed as his exited the field. It didn’t look good.

Fortunately, it proved only a minor injury, but his agent Hayden Evans was far from pleased with the challenge.

“McGinn physically turns his back in the challenge, leaves his foot in, a bit of a dig with it as well. It’s like a Sunday League old fella making sure that the young lad knows he’s there, it was a bit cheap I thought,” Evans told the The Athletic.
