Leeds United, Sheffield United far apart in Jayden Bogle’s ratings

Leeds United target Jayden Bogle is valued at £7million by Sheffield United, leaving the two clubs separated in terms of valuations, according to Alan Nixon.

Leeds United and Sheffield United are likely to battle it out for promotion from the Championship next season as the Yorkshire foes are set to go toe to toe again.

The Whites are out for redemption after falling at the last hurdle last season. Daniel Farke’s side were automatically promoted by Ipswich Town and were beaten in the play-off final by Southampton at Wembley.

As for the Blades, a disastrous season in the Premier League ended with relegation. The numerous departures now mean Chris Wilder’s side need a significant rebuild.

There are likely to be more exits from Bramall Lane and reports on Saturday stated that Jayden Bogle was the subject of interest. Mike McGrath has revealed to X that Leeds United are planning a move for the right-back.

Now, writing on Patreon, reporter Alan Nixon has provided a new update.

He claims Farke and co are keen to take Bogle to Elland Road, but they and Sheffield United are far off the mark. The Blades are said to want around £7million.

Who is this?

THE QUIZ STARTS!

A solid target

Leeds United are in dire need of more options on the right side of defense this summer.

Archie Gray, although naturally a midfielder, held that role for much of last season but was sold to Spurs. Meanwhile, Connor Roberts returns to parent club Burnley, who are now Championship rivals.

Bogle would be a strong addition at right-back for Farke and co. He can also play as a full-back, providing real value in attacking positions. The 23-year-old is an energetic presence on the right and could be an excellent fit at Elland Road.

However, at £7 million, the asking price is not exactly small. It would be interesting to see exactly what Leeds value him for, but it seems Sheffield United won’t let him go cheap – especially to a potential promotion rival.

Summer business so far

As expected after failing to win promotion, Leeds United have seen a number of departures this summer. Much of the focus has been on that side of things, with three new faces through the door so far.

Joe Rodon is back permanently in a huge boost for Farke. Joe Rothwell looks to be a smart loan in the middle of the park, while Alex Cairns is back as the third ‘keeper.

As for the outputs, the gray mentioned earlier is the name of the title. Marc Roca and Diego Llorente left for Real Betis after spending last season on loan, and Charlie Cresswell was sold to French outfit Toulouse.

Robin Koch, Kristoffer Klaesson, Luke Ayling and Jamie Shackleton all found new clubs on free transfers. Sam Greenwood, Darko Gyabi and Sonny Perkins will spend next year on loan joining Preston North End, Plymouth Argyle and Leyton Orient respectively.
