Leeds United started their pre-season tour on a high note, securing a solid 3-0 victory against Harrogate Town. Junior Firpo opened the scoring in the first half, with Georginio Rutter and Sam Chambers adding to the tally in the second period.
Manager Daniel Farke and his team are currently in Germany, gearing up for two more friendly matches without any fans present. Their pre-season will conclude with a game against Valencia at Elland Road on August 3, just before their Championship debut against Portsmouth.
The latest reinforcement to the squad is Jayden Bogle, who recently joined from Sheffield United and has already joined the team in Germany. With the season approaching, transfer talks are heating up surrounding Leeds and their Championship rivals.
Reports suggest that Leeds have their eyes set on PEC Zwolle left-back Anselmo Garcia MacNulty, who could provide strong competition for Firpo. Farke has praised Firpo’s talent and sees him as a vital player for the upcoming season.
Garcia MacNulty, a versatile 21-year-old defender with Spanish and Irish roots, has caught the eye in the Dutch league and could bring valuable strengths to the team. Additionally, Blackburn Rovers are showing interest in former loanee Lewis Baker as they aim to strengthen their midfield.
