Squad12 Jun 2028

Jayson Molumby signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Jayson Molumby and West Bromwich Albion agree another 5 years.

Squad12 Jun 2028

A row about effort at West Bromwich Albion

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Chris Mepham was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Squad12 Jun 2028

Jed Wallace in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at West Bromwich Albion this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Transfer targets12 Jun 2028

Door shut on Stephy Mavididi

West Bromwich Albion asked and Nottingham Forest said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Market12 Jun 2028

West Bromwich Albion sign Jacob Render, one for the future

Jacob Render is 20, and West Bromwich Albion have signed him for the player he will be rather than the one he is. The first team can wait; the point of a deal like this is the years it buys.

Market12 Jun 2028

Eyes on Joe Wildsmith again

The phone has started ringing about Joe Wildsmith again, and this time the name on the line is Swansea City. West Bromwich Albion are listening politely and promising nothing.

Market12 Jun 2028

No place for Nat Phillips in the plan

“The manager did not use many words, and he did not need to.” Nat Phillips has his answer from West Bromwich Albion; what he does with it is the next window’s story.

Transfer targets12 Jun 2028

A loan move for Patrick Dorgu is in the works

West Bromwich Albion have made the call to Manchester United. No fee, a share of the wages, and a spare shirt in the position where the squad has been thinnest all season.

Transfer targets12 Jun 2028

West Bromwich Albion ask about Soungoutou Magassa

A loan enquiry to West Ham United: cover, or a look at somebody the club cannot afford to buy yet. Either way the answer will come back inside the week.

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Squad29 Mar 2027

A falling-out at Leeds United

Alexis Vega and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Squad29 Mar 2027

Jacob Render is a better footballer than he was

Not a run of form — an actual step up, held for months. At 19 he is doing things at this level he could not do at the start of the season, and the coaching staff will tell you exactly which of them.

The dugout29 Mar 2027

No hiding place for Alexis Vega

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Alexis Vega, and the manager let it.

The dugout29 Mar 2027

Ricardo Pepi has become a man the manager trusts

Nobody at Leeds United will say this on the record and the team sheets have been saying it for weeks. There is a small group in every squad who get picked when the fixture is difficult, and he has joined it.

Market29 Mar 2027

Michael Zetterer is free to find somewhere else

“I was told straight, and I would rather have it straight.” The manager at Leeds United has been clear about where Michael Zetterer stands, which is more than many ever get.

The dugout29 Mar 2027

A promise honoured for Iliya Gruev

It is not much of a headline and it is the reason players believe the next promise. Leeds United told Iliya Gruev something would happen and then it happened, which in this industry passes for remarkable.

Loan watch29 Mar 2027

James Justin has made Norwich City’s shirt his own

37 starts now, an average of 6.84, and the team sheet at Norwich City has stopped being a question. Exactly what everybody signed up for.

Loan watch29 Mar 2027

Crewe Alexandra cannot leave Sam Chambers out

37 starts and an average of 7.16. He went there to play and he is playing, which is the only thing a loan was ever for.

The dugout29 Mar 2027

Ao Tanaka knocks on the manager’s door

“Thirty minutes, door closed, everything said. We shook hands after.” Whatever was in the room stayed in the room, and Ao Tanaka trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.

Squad12 Oct 2026

Jacob Render is a better footballer than he was

Not a run of form — an actual step up, held for months. At 18 he is doing things at this level he could not do at the start of the season, and the coaching staff will tell you exactly which of them.

Squad12 Oct 2026

Home is on Edward Ibrović-Fletcher's mind

“Some mornings you wake up and you are still a long way from everything you know.” It is not the football and it never was; Leeds United are dealing with a man who wants a different country.

Squad12 Oct 2026

Tempers go at Leeds United

Devon Brockie was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

The dugout12 Oct 2026

Ethan Ampadu has become a man the manager trusts

Nobody at Leeds United will say this on the record and the team sheets have been saying it for weeks. There is a small group in every squad who get picked when the fixture is difficult, and he has joined it.

Market12 Oct 2026

The Ricardo Pepi talk will not go away

Another week, another link, another denial nobody quite believes. Leeds United know the market decides these things, not the back pages — but the back pages are louder.

Loan watch12 Oct 2026

Joël Piroe keeps scoring at West Ham United

6 appearances away from home and 4 goals to show for them. Every one of them makes next summer's conversation a little more expensive.

The dugout12 Oct 2026

Tarik Muharemović knocks on the manager's door

“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at Leeds United, and both men came out saying it was fine.

The dugout12 Oct 2026

The manager makes Michael Zetterer a promise

Nothing in writing and nothing in public: a word about playing time, given face to face at Leeds United. The team sheets over the next month will show whether it was worth having.

Market12 Oct 2026

Marley Wilson leaves for nothing

Contract settled, hands shaken, no fee changing hands. Marley Wilson leaves Leeds United the quiet way, and the wage bill breathes a little easier.
