Looking to comply with the Championship’s profit and sustainability rules, Leeds United are reportedly set to sell an academy graduate who isn’t Archie Gray, with a medical already booked in.
Leeds transfer news
It’s been a frustrating couple of months at Elland Road. First, Leeds missed out on promotion at the final hurdle after suffering defeat in the play-off final against Southampton and it looked as if they were left with little choice but to sell Gray this summer. He was reportedly closing in on a summer switch to Premier League side Brentford in a deal worth £35m, but there’s since been a twist.

Daniel Farke’s side do look on course to sell another academy graduate, though. According to Adam Pope, Leeds are set to sell Charlie Creswell to Toulouse this summer in a deal worth just under £4m, with a medical already scheduled to take place as soon as next week.
The 21-year-old will leave having never really been handed a consistent opportunity at Elland Road despite impressing in a loan spell at Millwall in the Championship. Now moving on to Ligue 1, the young central defender will hope to finally make his mark on senior football again in a deal that should at least help Leeds to avoid potential PSR sanctions next season.
