Leeds United and Sheffield Wednesday lose stalwarts as Hull City suffer setback – transfer news round-up

Leeds United and Sheffield Wednesday lose stalwarts as Hull City suffer setback – transfer news round-up.

July has officially begun, which means that a lot of contracts across the country have ended, and pre-arranged movements are being finalised.

Transfer market action is picking up, and it is looking like a particularly busy summer for Yorkshire clubs. The left-back played an important role in the club’s Championship title win last season, but a new deal could not be negotiated.

In a parting statement, Leeds said: “Junior has played an important role for the football club both on and off the pitch during his time at Leeds United.” “His infectious personality made him a popular figure at Thorp Arch, as well as with supporters when he represented the club during his many community appearances.”

Sheffield Wednesday lose stalwart

Callum Paterson is allegedly looking into other possibilities after his contract with Sheffield Wednesday expired. The 30-year-old is thought to have turned down an initial offer to stay with the Owls, who did not respond with another proposition.

There is thought to be interest in the utility player from the Championship, League One, and beyond.

Hull City suffer setback

Hull City’s proposed transfer for Aston Villa attacker Louie Barry is reportedly on the verge of collapse. The 23-year-old was loaned to the Tigers in January, but his season was cut short by injury after only four appearances under Ruben Selles, who was later fired.

A £3.5 million deal has reportedly been completed for the forward, who can also play out wide, although doubts have been raised over the agreement’s affordability.

The intended reunion now seems exceedingly unlikely.

The 23-year-old, who recently won the UEFA European Under-21 Championship with England’s Under-21 team, is expected to leave the Riverside this summer. It has also been reported that the midfielder has switched agents.
