Leyton Orient to lose Lemar Gordon for free

Dylan Levitt signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Dylan Levitt commits to Leyton Orient for another 4 years.

Idris El Mizouni 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.

Coventry City watching Michael Craig

The interest is real enough to have reached print. Leyton Orient have said nothing, which in a transfer window is its own kind of answer.

Kaelan Casey falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.
