Apparently he joined the Hibs training camp in Dubia last week for a couple of friendlies and a trial. He did well in the first match but the second game was binned as not enough players in the opposition. They finished doing a skins V bib match and Kris should be leaving the club officially in the next couple of days if Jock reports are correct. He did well and is wanted
aiming for fullbacks and a #10 if possible. CB is a potential signing if we let Cresswell go Right back links: Williams (also says Nuno won’t loan him) Roberts and Johnson (west ham want a loan fee) “They are long-term admirers of Nottingham Forest’s Neco Williams, who they looked at in the summer, but his new head coach Nuno Espirito Santo has been explicit that the 22-year-old is not available. Leeds have also been tracking another Welsh full-back playing in the Premier League, Burnley’s Connor Roberts, who hasn’t started a top-flight game since October, spending the time since as a (sometimes unused) substitute or out of the matchday squad. West Ham United’s Ben Johnson is also on the list. The 23-year-old has seen relatively few minutes this season, is on course to be out of contract in the summer and has rejected offers of an extension to his current deal, but Leeds would favour a loan agreement in this window. West Ham, for their part, would expect a loan fee if they agreed to send Johnson out” Left backs: Ryan Giles, Borna Barasic and the new name… BEN DAVIES “In the past week, Leeds have been linked with Luton Town’s Ryan Giles and Borna Barasic of Scotland’s Rangers. They also have a speculative eye on Ben Davies if changes to the squad at Tottenham Hotspur before deadline day make him a potential loan target.“ “However, it feels incredibly unlikely that Spurs would sanction such a move.” Prefer to sell Cresswell then loan him “ Cresswell wants to move on in search of more first-team minutes and Leeds would seriously consider an acceptable offer following recent events, but they value him at more than £4million ($5.1m) and have no desire to lose him on loan to a direct rival — much of the interest in Cresswell is coming from teams at the top end of the Championship, including at least one side who are in firm contention for promotion. Farke wants his squad to have four centre-backs in it, so any exit involving Cresswell would have to be offset by a signing. “ Attacking Midfield “They looked at Liverpool’s Fabio Carvalho but Championship neighbours Hull City made a successful loan offer for him with a cast-iron promise of regular minutes, something the Premier League club insisted on. David Brooks is another player of interest and though Bournemouth have been in two minds about whether they might be willing to let someone borrow him, their position on retaining the 26-year-old Wales international could soften as the window enters its closing stages.“
A report today states Forest are looking at selling some players to show the PL they are abiding by FFFP rules. So maybe Williams could be a chance?
Leeds 'increasingly confident' on new Gnonto deal Sky Sports News' Tim Thornton and Lyall Thomas: Leeds are increasingly confident of agreeing a new contract with Wilfried Gnonto. Gnonto’s current deal expires in 2027 but he has had interest from other clubs over the last 12 months – namely from Everton. The winger has made 21 appearances in the Championship so far this season but all but five of them have been as a sub. He was not in the squad at all for Sunday’s game against Preston. Nevertheless, Leeds are keen to agree new terms with the Italy international, who is still just 20 years old. Sky reporting it now
Let’s hope it’s not another Llorente screw up. Sign a new contract and send out on loan? In Italy they reckon he is going on loan to Lazio
I think we can forget Neco Williams, Forest have turned down him going to Feyenoord on loan, the third bid they've rejected this window. Nunez wants to keep him.
Mateusz Musialowski from Liverpool seems to be gathering pace, surely one for the future can't see him forcing his way into the first team atm. Not what we need at present.
https://www.lep.co.uk/sport/footbal...sfield-town-hull-city-plymouth-argyle-4492437 Not alone are we, non of these make me envious, shows what a difficult window this is. It's OK wanting players, getting clubs to release them is the problem.
Agreed but after having months preparing for the window and then allowing Ayling to go and getting rid of Spence it smacks of incompetence to me. Farke saying we are covered shows there is a problem. Maybe someone agreed and pulled out but if not …….
Nothing about getting rid of Spence is incompetent to me Doc, keeping a bad egg would have been, still think we'll get one, maybe the lad from Luton.
So it appears the Japanese RB non of us had heard of until this morning has chosen Luton. Oh well, we can take Giles off their hands now.
