With the upcoming 2024/25 Championship season on the horizon, teams nationwide are putting the finishing touches on their preparations. Leeds United recently returned from Germany with two victories under their belt and are now getting ready to take on Valencia at Elland Road this weekend, followed by Portsmouth the following Saturday for their opening match of the season.
Amidst the ticking clock of the summer transfer window deadline on August 30, Leeds and other Championship clubs are actively seeking to bolster their squads. While Daniel Farke’s team is considered a top contender for promotion, others are also focused on bringing in new talent to challenge them. The final weeks leading up to the season promise to be hectic with plenty of transfer rumors swirling around the Championship.
In exciting transfer news, West Bromwich Albion’s Brandon Thomas-Asante is on the verge of joining Hull City in a £3 million deal, with Hull keen on strengthening their attacking options. On the other hand, Las Palmas has accepted a bid of £1.3 million for striker Sory Kaba from an unnamed Championship side. After a tough season at Las Palmas, Kaba’s previous success at Cardiff City makes him an attractive prospect for multiple teams vying for his signature. The race is on to see which club will secure Kaba’s services before the transfer window closes.
