On Tuesday, September 26th, here are the most recent Leeds United transfer rumours from around the internet.
Details about Joe Lumley’s trial have emerged.
Leeds United had a busy summer transfer window, completing 27 transactions, whether permanent or on loan, entering or exiting. It should come as no surprise that one possible maneuver slipped between the cracks.
According to The Athletic, goalkeeper Joe Lumley spent time with Leeds United during the pre-season, during which time Joel Robles had left, Illan Meslier’s future was unknown, and Karl Darlow had yet to arrive. Lumley’s transfer was never completed, and the 28-year-old ended up joining Championship rivals Southampton, who Leeds face this weekend.
Leeds eventually signed Darlow from Newcastle United, but Meslier remains at the club and has just recorded his fourth consecutive clean sheet, marking Leeds’ best four-match defensive performance since 2020.
Despite the fact that teams can only conduct business between the summer and January transfer windows, scouting is a year-round job in football. The Leeds scouting and recruitment department has undergone significant changes in recent months, with Victor Orta’s departure as director of football causing a mini-restructure this summer, with Nick Hammond joining as an advisor to help with the summer window and Gretar Steinsson being appointed technical director.
As the team prepares to close their busy summer season, a slew of job openings have appeared on the club’s website. Head of recruitment, technical scout, UK scouting lead, as well as souts for France and Scandinavia, as well as Germany, Holland, and Belgium, are among the roles listed.
