Leeds United

Leeds United have avoided relegation - and Newcastle United star Bruno Guimaraes has suggested that he did Raphinha and co a favour on Sunday.

Raphinha took to Instagram after the final whistle to celebrate, stating that the photos of him with the Leeds fans speak a thousand words. However, Leeds produced a 2-1 victory at Brentford as Raphinha scored a penalty to open the scoring. Leeds United have avoided relegation – and Newcastle United star Bruno Guimaraes has suggested that he did Raphinha and co a favour on Sunday.

Barcelona will only move for Leeds United's Raphinha if Ousmane Dembele leaves the Spanish giants in the summer.

And even if Barcelona ultimately move for the Brazil international, they are expected to have a tough time negotiating a deal for him with Leeds, as they are likely to ask for a significant amount. The winger has been heavily linked with a move away from Elland Road in the summer, with Spanish giants Barcelona keen on him. And Barcelona will only move for the 25-year-old if their star Dembele leaves Camp Nou when his contract expires in June.

Leeds were able to secure their Premier League status on the final day of the season.

At the bottom the economic disappointment is devastating, watching what’s happening at Burnley now, a buy-out, leveraging £75m to be paid back very quickly and Leeds would’ve been in significant danger or trouble as well from finances side of things. He was also quick to admit his surprise at Leeds coming away from Brentford with all three points after the Bees’ form in the second half of the season. Gary Neville has heaped praise on Leeds United for handling the pressure situation of a final day relegation scrap.

Barcelona want to sign Leeds United winger Raphinha in the summer but it won't be easy to prise him away after the Whites secured Premier League safety.

It looks like this is going to be a long drawn transfer saga, with plenty of twists and turns in it. According to Catalan newspaper Sport (May 23, page 13), Raphinha will be more expensive for Barcelona after Leeds avoided the drop. The Brazilian wants to join Barcelona, but things are now more complicated.

Keith Hackett has insisted that Leeds United were "lucky" not to have their winner disallowed in the huge 2-1 victory over Brentford on Sunday afternoon.

“I think that’s why it wasn’t [disallowed], but he is in the line of sight, he’s lucky not to be given offside. We’re delighted to welcome former Premier League referee Keith Hackett to the MOT Leeds News team. Leeds would have stayed in the Premier League without that goal in the end, with Burnley losing to Newcastle in an amazing 24 hours for the Whites.

Kalvin Phillips says Raphinha has been 'unbelievable' for Leeds after survival, following Sunday's 2-1 win over Brentford in West London.

He ran his socks off, he was a threat and when the crucial moment came, he took it with aplomb. His performance, and subsequent celebration at Burnley was the opposite. “Raph’s been unbelievable ever since he has come through the door.

A Leeds United fan 'can't walk or work' after he shattered his heel jumping in to the Thames to celebrate Premier League survival.

"I knew as soon as I hit the bottom I was in trouble, getting back out was a real challenge not being able to stand. "We’d just left the ground and walked down the river to a pub, there was a bit of goading going on but as I’m not a good swimmer, I said I’d find somewhere to jump in where I know I can get back out, it looked deep from the bank but turns out it wasn’t. Johnnie Matthews, 36, said the decision to jump into the water - which was only a few feet deep - wasn't "his cleverest idea".

Leeds United's rebuild is already under way with a move to sign RB Salzburg's Brenden Aaronson at an advanced stage.

Should big money offers come in for the England international from Champions League clubs however, the Whites could have a job on their hands to keep their prize asset, given his age and ambitions. But even when he came to Salzburg, Salzburg knew about him before I joined.” Staying in the Premier League will allow Leeds to name their price for the Brazilian and it will also give them a much greater chance of agreeing a new contract with Kalvin Phillips.

Fabrizio Romano has reported that Leeds United have already agreed personal terms with RB Salzburg attacking midfielder Brenden Aaronson.

A big-money arrival is the perfect dessert after the win over Brentford, and we already can’t wait for the announcement of this as well as more signings to come. Andrea Radrizzani and Victor Orta have a busy summer ahead of reinforcing this squad, and starting with this signing of Aaronson is the perfect beginning, so hats off to them. Leeds will now prepare the final paperwork to get a deal done, and as Romano’s famous words, the “Here we go” will come soon at Elland Road for their first major signing of the summer.

Jesse Marsch has hit out at prejudice he says he has faced simply for being an American, since taking over at Leeds United.

I'm a big communicator so I try to engage everybody to make them feel part of what we're doing and that's what galvanised our group more than anything." Whatever. I don't care, I'm not changing who I am, I'm going to be the leader that I want to be and work hard with the group I work with and find ways to grow and get better and succeed, that's what we did." Some people dont allow that kind of behaviour to happen and will treat me based on what I am or what our team is, that's ultimately what it should be. Any one thing the American says they want to just jump on and they want to then ridicule and find holes. Marsch's main point about the Manchester City defeat was that those games still have to yield positives and tangible benefits for the team's long-term growth, even if the scoreline doesn't immediately reflect that. At 4-0, it's a crazy thing to say but I truly believe that."

If they get a good offer, the club could be open to selling him as well. Losing him would be a blow for a club. But there are times when he has cut a frustrating figure.

Here are the latest Leeds United headlines as reaction to their final day Premier League survival continues.

Leeds reporter, Beren Cross has shared the moments some might have missed on a chaotic day. Liam Cooper took to social media to thank Leeds' medical team, after a season in which the side had been absolutely decimated by injuries. Before the result, that was the difference.

Robbie Blake has insisted that Leeds United should develop Elland Road just as Liverpool managed to do at Anfield.

“Such a huge football club with a great fanbase and let us hope that does materialise and they start getting the off-the-field situation sorted out in terms of all that and they still keep developing on the pitch.” “Liverpool have managed to keep the history of Anfield there but still develop it at the same time. “But what I would say in terms of where Anfield is and Elland Road is, there is more growth in terms of the area, the space.

The Whites have managed to beat second season syndrome and survive in the Premier League for another year.

Now, they go into their third season knowing that 90% of those teams to survive their first two seasons in a spell in the Premier League have also survived in their next one. They comfortably survived the first season, where 44% of the time a promoted side is relegated straight back to the Championship. They made their second season look much more like hard work but in staying up on the final day, they did what Sheffield United were unable to do last year, as well as 38% of the previous teams to survive their first season in the league. Now they can concentrate on building for their third season back in the top tier.

Leeds United youngster Nohan Kenneh is leaving the Whites and has penned a three-year pre-contract agreement with SPL side Hibernian.

This is a really positive signing for the Club.” He has a real desire to develop and play First Team football regularly. "To reach his potential, he has to have the right attitude and desire to be the best he can.

Don Hutchison believes that Leeds United are making the right choice by pursuing a move for RB Salzburg attacker Brenden Aaronson.

Marsch does like to play with an attacking midfielder and the 21-year-old would be ideal to play in the hole in behind Patrick Bamford. While they failed to sign the Argentine, they’re getting second-time lucky with Aaronson and he will be an exceptional signing for them. Having tried and failed to sign him in January, Leeds now look in pole position to secure a move for the American.

Leeds’ green light will be enough to complete the deal as Barcelona already have an agreement in place with Raphinha over personal terms. Seeing Leeds had already rejected a €35 million approach earlier, Barcelona are willing to make the last push by including Oscar Mingueza as part of the deal. The opportunity to sign someone like Mingueza, therefore, could be difficult to turn down.

That picture’s got to go up in the board room or tunnel.” This was an unbelievable game and the memory of it will live long in the minds of Leeds fans throughout the world. Speaking on the Premier League Weekend Review, he said, “It is brilliant.

Koch admits that avoiding relegation has given the Whites a nice feeling, but is clear that next season they want to be well away from the danger zone.

Chris Foy claims that Leeds United attacker Raphinha's goal rightfully stood against Brentford on the final day of the season.

When you plant your foot, you have to kick the ball. Speaking on the Premier League Weekend Review, the former Premier League referee said, “It is allowed. You can’t delay it then.

Leeds United want to sign a 'Premier League centre-forward', The Athletic's Phil Hay reports.

The verdict The latest The lowdown

Leeds United staying in the Premier League has seen Victor Orta be given the "green light" in the transfer market, according to The Mirror.

Aaronson was one of Salzburg’s standout performers in the Champions League last season and he really made his mark in a man of the match display against Bayern Munich in the round of 16. There could still be outgoings despite their successful bid to survive the drop with Kalvin Phillips and Raphinha the two most likely to leave but the club want to restart negotiation over a new deal for both players. The deal will cost Leeds roughly £24million and it won’t be the last of the summer by a long stretch with Aberdeen’s Calvin Ramsay another potential target as they look for cover at right-back.

Harrison scored the crucial goal which guaranteed the Whites' Premier League survival on Sunday.

In a somewhat frustrating campaign for the Leeds wide-man, he has still managed to deliver an excellent goalscoring return, all be it with significantly less assists. And Harrison’s goals have become somewhat of a good luck omen since his arrival four years ago. The 25-year-old has scored in 24 matches during his time at the club, with Leeds going onto lose just one of those – which came in the 4-3 defeat to Liverpool in the Whites’ first game back in the Premier League. This season, Harrison has scored in several crucial matches to match his tally of eight from the previous campaign.
