Leeds United and Southampton are ‘near to deal’ as the Preston veteran departs and Southampton plans to sign a promising defender.

With players returning for preseason,

Sheffield Wednesday and Sheffield United can now intensify their preseason preparations for the next campaign.

The leaders of Blades and Owls are still working very hard to be ready for the upcoming campaign; we have already witnessed a flurry of activity at Hillsborough.

Chris Wilder is playing catch-up, although exits will be more important

than incomings early in the summer,

with United needing to free up some cash to secure incomings. In the meantime, we have rounded up all the latest news surrounding the rest of the Championship.

 

Spurs to Gray
Archie Gray, a crucial player for Leeds United,

is reportedly close to signing a contract to go to Tottenham. The Whites are reportedly planning to cash in on Gray in an effort to comply with Profit and Sustainability requirements. Joe Rodon,

a defender who showed promise while on loan last season,

will also be acquired as part of the transaction.

The Yorkshire Evening Post reports that Leeds will not get any future sale proceeds or a sell-on fee as part of the agreement.

Rodon’s value will be factored into the deal’s overall estimated value of approximately £40 million.
