Leeds United news as Rasmus Kristensen outlines key attraction and attention turns to next deal

Here are the latest Leeds United headlines on Thursday, 9 June 2022.

Rasmus Kristensen's first words after sealing Jesse Marsch reunion at Leeds United

Leeds United have made Danish international Rasmus Kristensen their second signing of the summer.

Signed from Red Bull Salzburg for an undisclosed fee, Kristensen links up with former team mate Brenden Aaronson and manager Jesse Marsch, who coached both of them during his time in Austria.

The 25-year-old has signed a five-year deal at Elland Road and was unveiled yesterday.

"I recognise Leeds as a huge club and, when I heard about the interest, of course I looked at the project and what’s going on, then I was 100% convinced," said Kristensen at his unveiling.

Simon Grayson lands overseas manager job

Former Leeds United boss Simon Grayson has made the surprising move to manage Indian side Bengaluru on a two-year deal.

The 52-year-old has been out of management since being sacked by Fleetwood Town last season, after less than a full campaign in charge leaving the side just above the relegation zone.

The former Leeds gaffer had four solid seasons as Leeds boss - boasting a 49% win rate, including promotion back up to the Championship in the 2009/10 season after they defeated Bristol Rovers on the final day of a season that also saw Manchester United defeated in the FA Cup third round.

A full season in the Championship would follow before Grayson was eventually sacked in February 2012 after a poor run of results.

Grayson has signed a two-year deal with the southern Indian side, with their season set to start in October.
