Just like big changes have been made at Leeds United this summer following their failure to get promoted to the Premier League, similar changes have happened at Hull City.

The Tigers failed to finish in the top six of the Championship standings and since then, a number of players have left the club for a new chapter in their career.

Jaden Philogene and Jacob Greaves have been sold while players like Fabio Carvalho, Anass Zaroury, Tyler Morton and Liam Delap have returned to their respective clubs following the end of their loan spell.

The only constant thing at Leeds United is that they still have Daniel Farke as their manager.

Hull City have appointed new manager Tim Walter this summer and he has been given the responsibility to make changes at the club.

One of the players he is targeting is Leeds United target Liam Millar and going by the latest reports, the Tigers have won the race to sign the player.

Matthew Scianitti has claimed that the player is set to undergo a medical at Hull City after the Championship club agreed a fee of £3 million with FC Basel.

Leeds in transfer talks to land Copa America striker

Ahad Shaukat — Mon, 24 Jun 2024 10:49:18 +0000

According to The Athletic, Leeds United are keeping an eye on Basel attacker Liam Millar of Canada during this year’s Copa America.

During the summer transfer window, Leeds United and Sheffield United are showing interest in Millar.

The former Liverpool player played for Preston North End in the Championship last season while on loan from swiss team Basel.

The Canada international, nevertheless, is anticipated to make a permanent return to England this summer.

For Ryan Lowe’s club, which finished 10th in the second division standings and missed out on a play-off spot by 10 points, Millar produced five goals and five assists.

It is known that the Canadian’s contract, which is nearing its end, contains a release clause.

Last season, Millar solidified his position as a vital member of Lowe’s squad by winning praise for his efforts and winning over the fans.

With his versatility as a centre-forward and left winger, the 24-year-old may be the ideal addition if Crysencio Summerville were to depart Elland Road.

Bid accepted: Liverpool close in on £1m+ sale of promising attacker

Jaikuran Randhawa — Sun, 27 Jun 2021 11:49:50 +0000

Liverpool have reportedly accepted a transfer bid for 21-year-old attacker Liam Millar, according to the Echo, the forward is now close to agreeing personal terms ahead of a switch to Basel.

The Echo report that Liverpool have accepted a seven-figure bid for the wide-man, with added that this was the second bid they received for the ace from the Swiss powerhouses.

Millar spent the second-half of last season on loan at Charlton Athletic, showing promise with three goals and six assists in 27 League 1 appearances.

The Echo detail that the Canada international is close to agreeing personal terms that would finalise the switch, with the acceptance of a bid from the Reds coming on Friday.

A transfer to Basel might surprise some as the Echo share that Championship sides were keen on Millar, who had previously experienced a loan spell with Kilmarnock in Scotland.

Basel certainly haven’t messed about when it comes to trying to secure the ace’s signature, they’ve met Liverpool’s demands pretty swiftly after having their first bid turned down at the start of the week.

Millar has only ever made on first-team appearance for the Reds, coming in the FA Cup win against Shrewsbury in 19/20 in which the Liverpool kids upset the odds to progress.

It’s claimed that Liverpool chiefs Michael Edwards and Julian Ward have rejected permanent transfer offers for Millar in the past, but it now seems like the club are prepared to let the ace go.

Millar will likely have the chance to establish himself as a key player pretty early on for the 20-time Swiss Champions, with the view to earning another shot in England or one of Europe’s top leagues in the future.

With talk of the offer being a ‘seven-figure’ one, Liverpool will net at least £1m for Millar which is relatively decent business for someone they snatched away from the academy of Fulham.

Liverpool could raise some serious funds as major clear-out planned with these nine players up for sale

Tom McNeil — Wed, 09 Jun 2021 14:40:55 +0000

It’s been common in the past for clubs to stockpile fringe players and youngsters in the hope that some develop into starters, but that might not be the case now as they continue to struggle with finances after the Covid-19 pandemic.

It means a lot of teams will now look to go with a leaner first-team squad and they know there’s money to be raised by selling off those fringe players, but Liverpool could be set for a bigger clearout than most.

Our colleagues at Empire of the Kop have reported on those who could be moved on after a piece by The Athletic, and it looks like as many as nine players will be sold.

The more notable names are Marko Grujic, Xherdan Shaqiri, Harry Wilson and Divock Origi, while it’s expected that each player could be worth around £15m each so there could be £60m raised if all of that comes to fruition.

The other five are possibly more forgotten but Loris Karius, Ben Woodburn, Sheyi Ojo, Taiwo Awoniyi and Liam Millar will all have some kind of value in the transfer market, so if all nine players are moved on then it raises some serious cash for further business and it also clears plenty of room from the wage bill too.

Liverpool could be set to offload five players in late transfer clear-out

Mark Brus — Thu, 15 Oct 2020 07:04:09 +0000

Liverpool could reportedly be ready to offload as many as five players before the EFL transfer deadline in a major last-minute clear-out.

The Reds had a decent transfer window as they signed big names like Thiago Alcantara and Diogo Jota, but it remains to be seen if there could still be further changes to Jurgen Klopp’s squad.

Some departures to trim down the squad seem likely, with Goal reporting that Harry Wilson could be leaving, while Ben Woodburn, Herbie Kane, Liam Millar and Nat Phillips are also candidates for the exit door.

Liverpool seem unlikely to have much use for any of these players, so it might be a good idea to either loan them out or try making some money from selling them while the transfer window remains open for EFL clubs.

Major clear out at Liverpool as five players expected to leave on loan this week

Tom McNeil — Wed, 14 Oct 2020 15:26:03 +0000

In theory an extended deadline gives you much more time to do the work and everything should be completed early, but the majority of us will always leave it as late as possible.

That’s also been the situation with the transfer window this summer as it was open for longer, but most deals were left until the final days.

It’s likely that the current uncertainty in football has led to that, with many clubs looking to stockpile players until they can see how things might pan out.

A lot of Premier League sides still have bloated squads so it makes sense to loan some of those players out for now, but the domestic deadline hits this Friday so they will need to get a move on.
