Here are the latest Leeds United morning headlines on Wednesday, 31 August 2022.
Sinisterra praise
Former Leeds United striker Jermaine Beckford has praised Luis Sinisterra for the confidence he shows each time he gets the ball. Sinisterra made his full debut Premier League debut for the Whites on Tuesday as he scored the equaliser to earn a 1-1 draw with Everton.
Despite playing on the right-hand side, Sinisterra was Leeds’ most dangerous attacker throughout the 64 minutes he was on the field. Speaking on BT Sport post-match, Beckford was impressed with what he saw from Sinisterra after a stop-start opening to his Leeds career.
He said: “This is somebody that got 23 goals last season, and someone that got 14 assists last season, so he knows where the back of the net of is, he knows how to create chances.

“But I am really pleased for him because he has had a difficult start to his Leeds United career with getting injured at the start of pre-season that stopped his progress but you can see the confidence he plays with every time he picks the ball up. He looked a threat and for his goal he managed to catch Jordan Pickford out.”
Marsch on transfers
Doors remain open for incomings and outgoings at Leeds United with less than 48 hours of the transfer window to run. Jesse Marsch did not rule out an exit for Daniel James while he admitted Hwang Hee-chan is a player on the club’s shortlist.
James has been the subject of speculation linking him with Tottenham Hotspur in recent days and while Marsch did not foresee an exit, he could only say the club would see how the next 24 hours play out. He said: “I like Dan.
“He's been a big part of what we've done here. Before I came and since I've been here. I don't anticipate big movements in the group, but we have to just see what happens in the next 24 hours.”
