The eye-watering finances behind potential N’Golo Kante to Leeds United transfer…
Leeds United’s first televised fixture of the summer is just one day away with Daniel Farke’s side due at League Two Harrogate Town on Friday evening. Recent meetings with Rangers and Lincoln City have been played behind-closed-doors but tomorrow’s trip to North Yorkshire will allow fans to get a first look at their team ahead of the 2024/25 season, which kicks off at home to Portsmouth in just over three week’s time.
With a strong season behind them, Leeds will be among the favourites to go up again this term but know it will be a tough season with plenty of competition for those top-two places. Championship teams have been busy this summer in a bid to compete with Farke’s men and the YEP has rounded up some of the latest stories from across the division.
Hull City director Tan Kesler has all but confirmed Jaden Philogene’s imminent sale to former club Aston Villa, insisting his side did not send the winger back but instead saw him taken back due to a contract clause. Villa look set to re-sign Philogene for around £13.5million, having triggered a matching rights clause to mirror Ipswich Town’s £18m bid, with the cut-price coming as a result of 30 per cent sell-on clause inserted in the deal that saw him join Hull initially.
