Chances of transfer deal outlined

Leeds would apparently ‘jump at the chance’ to bring back Raphinha from Barcelona this summer. That’s according to a report by Football Insider, who go on to suggest the Whites are ‘not likely’ to bring the Brazil international back to Elland Road in the next transfer window, even if he does make his expected exit from Camp Nou.

The winger has struggled to make an impact with the La Liga since his switch there last year. It is said that he wants his next club to be in the Champions League.

Coach reflects on spell

Cameron Toshack has said his time as assistant manager at Leeds to Jesse Marsch was ‘fantastic’. The Welshman, who has now left, helped them stay up last term. He has said, as per Wales Online:

“I was extremely fortunate to be offered the opportunity to go and work alongside Jesse Marsch in the Premier League, which is the biggest and best league in the world,” he explained. I have to say, a great club, a massive football club with super supporters. Six-and-a-half thousand at Cardiff recently for an away game, that’s incredible.

“The people at the club, everybody’s aligned. It’s the club of Yorkshire, if you like. It’s a one-club city, but even in the surrounding areas, it’s all Leeds. From an experience point of view and the people I worked with there, it was fantastic.”
