Leeds United have been busy in the summer transfer window, but not in the manner in which they would have liked.
There is huge pressure on Daniel Farke amid their very poor start to the new season because nothing but promotion is going to be accepted.
Tottenham Hotspur signed Archie Gray at the start of the window and then Crysencio Summerville joined West Ham United.
Now, there is talk that Leeds United could lose Georginio Rutter to Brighton and Hove Albion, with that transfer news breaking moments after the team were well beaten in the EFL Cup by Middlesbrough last week.
Leeds signed Rutter for big money during the January transfer window of 2023 when they were in the Premier League and Jesse Marsch was in charge.
But Leeds sacked the American soon after and their new recruit hardly played as the club suffered relegation.
Since then, Clinton Morrison has admitted that Rutter has been ‘outstanding’ in England’s second tier for the Yorkshire giants.
Leeds were beaten by Southampton in the Championship play-off final last season, with Rutter supplying 15 assists during the regular campaign and playing in that now-forgettable Wembley game.
Brighton have a strong record when it comes to transfers over the years and it’s a key reason why they were in Europe last term.
