Leeds United news as bookmakers weigh in on Archie Gray’s audacious claim….
Bookmakers render their decision on Robinson’s audacious Archie Gray claim.
England will secure their place in Euro 2024 if they draw 1-1 with Italy at Wembley Stadium on Tuesday evening. A draw would secure at least a runner-up berth in Group C ahead of next month’s final fixtures, allowing them to book flights to Germany next summer.
If Gareth Southgate’s men win, the speculation over who will be in his squad next summer will begin in earnest. Patrick Bamford is the only current Leeds United player with an England cap, but an injury-plagued couple of years appear to have pushed him off Southagate’s radar.
Former England and Leeds United goalkeeper Paul Robinson appeared on BBC 5Live on Monday evening and suggested that Whites midfielder Archie Gray may be a dark horse for inclusion next summer. Gray is currently on England under-19s duty, having progressed from the u15s level.
“My dark horse for the Euros squad, a real outsider from me, somebody I’ve watched regulaarly at Leeds United, Archie Gray,” he stated. “He hasn’t yet played for England at the under-21 level, but he has represented England at every level up to the under-19s.” He’s a fixture in c’s Leeds squad this season, and I expect him to make significant progress in the next 12-18 months.”
Bookmakers Sky Bet has replied to this assertion by making the adolescent a 25/1 shot to be named in Southagate’s Euro 2024 team, with another young Championship potential, Sunderland’s Jobe Bellingham.
Leeds United negotiate a ticket agreement with Huddersfield Town following uproar and owner comments.
Leeds United and Huddersfield Town have reached a reciprocal agreement on away ticket prices ahead of their match at Elland Road this month. The Whites were planning to charge Huddersfield fans £47 per ticket to see the game from the away end on Saturday, October 28.
That pricing structure sparked controversy at the John Smith’s Stadium, with the Huddersfield Town Supporters Association claiming it was simply too expensive to witness a Championship game. Terriers owner Kevin Nagle also replied publicly to the outcry, claiming that efforts to decrease ticket prices for away fans had failed.
The two clubs have now agreed that Huddersfield fans will pay just £20 for an adult ticket to see Darren Moore’s side take on Leeds at Elland Road, with various concessions available at £15, £10, and £5. Leeds supporters will be paid the same fee when United travels along the M62 on March 2, later in the season.
Leeds United’s January transfer worries have been allayed, with everything ‘doing well’ under Daniel Farke.
Leeds United’s players will be reluctant to leave in the January transfer window if the club is to make a quick return to the Premier League. Former Whites goalkeeper Paul Robinson says ‘things are going incredibly well’ at Elland Road under Daniel Farke.
Leeds have improved after a solid but slow start to the season, and they now lie fifth in the table ahead of Saturday’s game at Norwich City. Farke’s team has won three of their previous four league games, although they are still nine points behind second-placed Ipswich Town.
Following relegation, a slew of first-teamers left Elland Road over the summer, many on loan due to contractual stipulations, with the likes of Wilfried Gnonto attracting interest from elsewhere. Rivals may return in January to test United’s resolve, but Robinson is certain that players will want to stay if the squad remains in promotion contention.
