Leeds United right-back Cody Drameh is set to leave the club to join Hull City.

The 22-year-old right-back is scheduled to have a medical at Hull City on Tuesday before finalising his transfer, as stated by Hull Daily Mail and cited by The Shields Gazette.

It was generally anticipated that Drameh, whose contract expires in June, would depart Leeds after spending the previous season on loan at Birmingham City.

After losing both Jacob Greaves and Jaden Philogene in the early part of the transfer window, the Tigers haven’t had the best transfer window.

Although the Tigers will gain from Ryan Giles’s permanent arrival, there is still much work to be done in order to replace the important individuals who have gone.

After Ryan Giles, Drameh will be City’s second summer addition, coming to bolster the caliber and depth of the team’s defensive line up.

Hull have defeated other Championship teams in order to complete a deal for Drameh.

It was also believed that teams from other European leagues were interested in the player, who was negotiating a new contract at Elland Road.

Drameh played 30 games and contributed four assists while on loan at Birmingham City during the previous season.

It’s already been another summer of huge upheaval for Leeds United, after their failure to get promoted to the Premier League meant that the owners would need to authorise a second mass exodus in 12 months in order to keep within Financial Fair Play boundaries.

A number of players have departed with star man, Crysenscio Summerville, understood to be the subject of interest from West Ham United.

As of this moment, the 22-year-old, who bagged 21 goals and provided nine assists last season (WhoScored) remains a Leeds player.

However, it’s almost certain that he won’t be lining up at Elland Road next season unless it’s in opposition.

There is a silver lining on the horizon for owners, 49ers Enterprises, though.

According to Leeds Live, there’s an acceptance from all parties that Summerville is highly likely to leave this summer, but the player’s camp want to ensure that Leeds get a good deal out of the sale given that they were the club that gave him his chance in England.

If the player was always going to move on anyway, then earning as much as possible has to be seen as a positive.

Leeds United are reportedly in the race to sign Blackburn Rovers’ standout player, Sammie Szmodics, as they aim to bolster their squad for a promotion push next season.

The Mirror reports that Leeds are highly interested in signing Szmodics, who was one of the Championship’s top performers last season.

The 28-year-old attacking midfielder has caught the eye with his impressive displays, making him a highly sought-after target for several clubs.

Among those interested in signing him includes newly promoted side Ipswich Town as well but Leeds are said to be frontrunners for his signature.

Szmodics joined Blackburn Rovers in August 2022, signing a three-year deal with the club with an option to extend for another season and he made an immediate impact.

He had a superb season in the Championship, finishing  the campaign as the league’s top scorer with 27 goals in 44 appearances.

Leeds are hopeful that adding Szmodics to their squad will significantly boost their promotion ambitions for the upcoming season.

Everton are on the brink of finalising a deal for Leeds United star Wilfried Gnonto, according to the latest report from TEAMtalk.

Negotiations between the two clubs are reportedly progressing well, with Everton moving closer to meeting Leeds’ valuation.

The Blues are prepared to spend £20 million on Gnonto, while Leeds are holding out for £25 million.

It is suggested that a compromise could be reached with a £20 million fee supplemented by performance-related add-ons.

Gnonto, who expressed a desire to leave Leeds last season as well, ended up being forced to stay and played a pivotal role in their near-promotion campaign. He made 44 appearances, scoring 9 goals and providing 3 assists.

Everton’s longstanding interest in Gnonto

Everton’s interest in him is not new. There was interest from Everton for him last summer as well, who even made a bid for him which was ultimately rejected by Leeds who were holding out for £30m.

They were expected to return for him in January but the club got charged with financial breaches resulting in a 10 point deduction.

The player remains keen on a move to Goodison Park and it appears that a deal is close to now being agreed.

Leeds United have placed a £20m price tag on one of their key players this summer.

The Whites have lost a number of important players after their failure to win promotion to the Premier League.

The most high profile exit is Archie Gray, who has left the club in a big money move to join Premier League side Tottenham.

Kris Klaesson, Charlie Cresswell, Glen Kamara, Marc Roca and Diego Llorente have all been sold by the club this summer in a major overhaul of the squad.

Now, another player could follow them out of the club and the Whites are asking £20m to let him leave.

According to Leeds Live, the Championship club are ready to let Ilan Meslier leave the club this summer if they can get £20m for him.

After winning last season’s Championship golden glove, the goalkeeper faces an uncertain future at the club.

He has proven himself in the Premier League and the Championship and selling him for a fee of just £20m would be a huge loss for Daniel Farke’s team.

Athough they would be making a profit on their purchase but signing a player of that quaity in the current market would be highly difficult.

Farke has described the player as “world class” in the past but he could be willing to let the goalkeeper leave Elland Road this summer.

The Leeds manager has been busy this summer with his team’s transfer business as he aims to prepare the squad for the new season with the target of getting promoted to the Premier League.

West Ham United have reportedly submitted a bid for the potential transfer of Leeds United winger Crysencio Summerville, even if a deal looks difficult and expensive for the Hammers.

According to Fabrizio Romano, West Ham have had some talks over signing Summerville, while they’ve also tabled an official proposal to Leeds, though this is not currently considered a deal close to completion.

It remains to be seen if West Ham will be able to afford the talented young Dutchman, who has also been monitored by big names like Chelsea and Liverpool in recent times, as Romano previously told CaughtOffside via his exclusive Daily Briefing column.

Summerville might be more realistic for clubs like Chelsea and Liverpool, but it would seem they’re yet to step up their interest and make actual concrete efforts to sign the 22-year-old.

If West Ham could win the race for Summerville then it truly would be an impressive statement by the east Londoners, but it remains to be seen where he’ll end up.

Roma have also had Summerville on their list this summer, as Romano notes elsewhere in his X post above, so perhaps they’ll emerge as a concrete option again later in the window.

Summerville transfer: Is he good enough for Chelsea or Liverpool?

Given that West Ham’s efforts seem likely to be in vain, could we see bigger clubs like Chelsea and Liverpool come back in for Summerville after previously scouting him?

Crysencio Summerville to West Ham, Liverpool, or Chelsea?

Arne Slot could surely do with making some changes in attack this summer after inheriting a Liverpool squad that ended last season poorly, and which has the ageing Mohamed Salah and injury-prone Diogo Jota up front at the moment.

Chelsea, meanwhile, could surely find that Summerville is an upgrade on flops like Raheem Sterling and Mykhailo Mudryk, even if he’d represent a bit of a gamble due to his lack of top level experience.

Former Leeds United midfielder David Norris has urged the club to ‘cash in’ on Wilfried Gnonto this summer as Premier League interest mounts.

The 20-year-old enjoyed a positive 2023/24 campaign, registering nine goals and three assists in 44 appearances across all competitions to help the Whites finish third in the Championship.

However, Leeds were unable to secure promotion back to the Premier League, losing 1-0 to Southampton in the playoff final. And after refusing to play for the club at the start of last season, which resulted in disciplinary action, it’s understood he will once again look for a move to the top flight this summer.

Premier League duo Newcastle and Everton are reportedly interested in Gnonto — with Alan Myers reporting that the latter are already in an ‘advanced situation’.

And Norris believes that, given Gnonto’s history, Leeds should act now and cash in on the Italian — who is capped 13 times for his country so far.

“I do still see Gnonto leaving. He kicked up a fuss last year and then did okay, but only really in fits and starts,” Norris told MOT Leeds News.

“I think his mind was maybe a little elsewhere, and he had people questioning his character.

“I still back him to go and do well because he is a good player, but at the same time I think his time at Leeds is done and the club should cash in.”

Robbie Fowler believes Leeds United are suffering the consequences of last season’s failed promotion bid.

Losing the Championship play-off final against Southampton, Leeds United saw Leicester City, Ipswich Town and the Saints all return to the Premier League. The Yorkshire giants will have to try again this season.

And suffering several key exits, including losing Archie Gray, who joined Spurs in a deal worth £40 million last month, Daniel Farke has been forced to rethink his starting 11.

Leeds United have confirmed Archie Gray’s transfer to Spurs.

Luke Ayling, Cody Drameh, Rasmus Kristensen, Jamie Shackleton and Connor Roberts have already left but the club have confirmed the signing of Jayden Bogle from Sheffield United.

And Fowler reckons Gray’s departure, especially, has been the result of a poor end-of-season result.

“Sadly, for fans at Elland Road, that’s just the brutal reality of not being in the Premier League. If they’d gone back up I’m certain Gray may have stayed. The Gray family will probably have mixed emotions, too,” the ex-pro star told the Mirror.

“Especially Leeds legend Eddie. But until Leeds are an established Premier League club again, losing players like Archie is the price you pay [for not being in the Premier League].”

Daniel Farke has hopes of his Leeds United team making another promotion push next season.

The Whites came agonisingly close to returning to the Premier League last season but losing the play-off final to Southampton meant the Yorkshire giants must spend the 2024-25 campaign in the Championship.

And the club’s failed promotion has also meant several key players have moved on, including Archie Gray, who joined Spurs last month.

Along with Gray, Leeds have also lost Rasmus Kristensen, Luis Sinisterra and Marc Roca. Junior Firpo is also in talks with Real Betis.

Junior Firpo in action for Leeds.

However, looking to reinvest the funds they’ve already raised, which top £70 million, Leeds’ hierarchy are preparing to make at least one top Premier League signing.

Crystal Palace youngster Jesurun Rak-Sakyi is thought to be Farke’s top target (Daily Mail).

The 21-year-old is also wanted by other clubs, but Leeds’ strong interest sees them among the favourites for the attacker’s signature.

Spending last season on loan with Charlton, the young right winger enjoyed an excellent individual campaign. Rak-Sakyi scored 15 goals and registered nine assists in 49 games in all competitions. He has since returned to Selhurst Park but is expected to move again before the start of the season.

Understandably keen to bolster their options at right-back after losing Archie Gray, Connor Roberts and Jamie Shackleton earlier this window, Daniel Farke is on the verge of landing Bogle, who is undergoing his medical this weekend.

During Bogle’s four years with the Blades, the 23-year-old, who has just 12 months left on his contract, has scored 12 goals and registered four assists in 103 games in all competitions.
