Liam Cooper ‘reaches agreement’ for European move as familiar Leeds United transfer stumbling block resurfaces
Leeds United’s international stars have all flown away to their respective countries with the September international break now well underway. A large chunk of Daniel Farke’s squad have earned call-ups and supporters will have a keen eye on the likes of Wales, Japan, Austria and the USA. Meanwhile, those without international responsibilities might be afforded a brief early break before returning to work ahead of next week’s meeting with Burnley.
Leeds will go into that huge early game with confidence and momentum, having won consecutive games to nil against Sheffield Wednesday and Hull City. Farke’s men sit fourth going into the break and will hope to continue climbing during what looks to be a testing autumn. Ahead of what looks to be a quieter weekend in West Yorkshire, the YEP has rounded up some of the latest stories surrounding the club.
Liam Cooper is thought to be closing in on a surprise move to Bulgaria with reports of an agreement with CSKA Sofia. Journalist Metodi Shumanov relays claims from the Bulgarian Telegraph that an agreement has been reached for the free agent, who will fly over to undergo medical tests before completing his move.
