Leeds United kick off their 2024/25 season against Portsmouth this Saturday with high hopes at Elland Road. Despite the departure of key players Summerville and Gray after the Championship play-off final loss to Southampton, the team’s confidence remains strong.
The team’s successful pre-season friendlies, including a noteworthy win against Valencia, have showcased the potential of new signings Rodon, Rothwell, and Bogle. The return of Aaronson and Wober further strengthens the squad, although manager Farke is still looking to reinforce in key positions such as full-back, central midfield, and winger.
Leeds’ previous season’s setback can be attributed to a slow start, but with improved squad stability and solid defensive unit, the team is set for a promising start against Portsmouth. While additional signings are being discussed, the current lineup boasts a strong defensive line and attacking lineup featuring the likes of Gnonto, Rutter, James, and Joseph.
Despite ongoing negotiations for new recruits like Rowe, Leeds is prepared to start the season strong with their existing squad.
