Leeds United experienced a difficult end to the transfer window with the departure of Luis Sinisterra to AFC Bournemouth
Just nine hours before the transfer market closed, Leeds United manager Daniel Farke explained that he was delighted to see the transfer market close and how relieved he was to be out on the sidelines. unharmed after waiting all summer for Luis Sinisterra and Wilfried Gnonto to show up. result. Then the punch!
As time went on, relief gave way to disappointment as it was reported that AFC Bournemouth were stepping up their efforts to acquire Sinisterra, with the player being subject to a contract clause that was missed in the process. practice a few weeks before. The Colombian was about to leave the field and there was almost nothing Leeds could do to stop him with what felt like his hand was being forced.
Getting a decent amount of money for a winger without spending time is pointless, so getting something else in return is important. In the Jaidon Anthony level, a swap deal was made. It’s probably as good as what Leeds could hope for at such a late stage. but although the deal has received mixed reception from some, former player Carlton Palmer is confident that Los Blancos have a good player to meet the Championship’s requirements.
After all, Anthony was the man who won promotion from the Championship and played a key role in bringing the Cherries to the Premier League two years ago. Palmer told Football League World: “When they (Bournemouth) were promoted in 2021/22, he made 45 league appearances, scoring eight goals and providing eight assists.
“Anthony is a very good substitute at this level. It was a blow for Leeds United to lose Sinisterra to AFC Bournemouth on the last day of the transfer window. It’s too late and they’ll be very, very disappointed.”
There has certainly been some frustration over when and how Sinisterra will leave, but Leeds have moved on and Anthony, has a player who wants to stay at the club.
