Marcelo Bielsa's brilliant gesture

Avid Leeds United supporter Tony Clark is touring a bronze statue of Marcelo Bielsa across Yorkshire to raise funds for the Mind charity, with the statue featuring the Argentine sat on top of his trademark bucket.

On Friday, the statue was in the North Yorkshire town of Harrogate as the final stop on its tour, with the bronze statue having visited Filey and Leeds city centre over the past few days.

"Originally, I designed it for Leeds United and they were going to take it," Mr Clark told LeedsLive . "Then after the covid and everything else there was a lot of controversy about it.

Leeds in hunt to sign Emmanuel Dennis

Leeds United are set to rival the likes of Newcastle United and Wolves in the market for the services of Club Brugge striker Emmanuel Dennis, Belgian outlet HLN states.

The 22-year-old is reportedly keen on leaving the club, where he won the league title this season, with the intention of taking the next step in his career amid interest from the Premier League and the Bundesliga.

Dennis scored nine goals, supplied two assists and earned his first caps for Nigeria in the 2019/20 season as Club Brugge were awarded the Belgian league title after the campaign was halted in May, with Leeds among those said to be keeping an eye on his situation.
