Leeds now have their eye on one player after an impressive start to his World Cup tournament.

The World Cup is a real opportunity for clubs in the Premier League to find reinforcements, with the best players all across the world competing in one tournament.

It’s a chance for players to announce themselves on the biggest stage, and it’s a selling club’s dream, with transfer values often going through the roof.

Leeds and every other Premier League club will have multiple scouts at the tournament, and you so often see players getting big moves after the World Cup.

It could be a busy summer transfer window for the Yorkshire club as they aim to build on an impressive 2025/2026 season under Daniel Farke.

Leeds Eyeing World Cup Star

According to a report from Team Talk, Leeds are among a number of sides who are showing an interest in FC Midtjylland star Lee Han-beom ahead of the summer transfer window.

The 23-year-old played 90 minutes for South Korea in their opening World Cup game against the Czech Republic, helping them secure a 2-1 victory.

Han-beom was being scouted by multiple clubs, including from the Premier League, and Leeds are among those who are tracking the player at the moment.

Described as ‘one of Europe’s most underrated young defenders’ by journalist Graeme Bailey, Han-beom is attracting a lot of attention ahead of the summer transfer window. With just 12 months remaining on his deal, Midtjylland could be forced to sell this summer.

Leeds in Strong Position Heading Into Summer

Leeds are in a strong position heading into the summer transfer window after they comfortably avoided relegation from the Premier League. The Yorkshire club don’t need to panic and can remain patient in their efforts to bring in reinforcements, knowing that Farke has a squad capable of competing.

The next step is to build a squad capable of climbing into the top half of the Premier League table. It could be an important summer if they want to do that as soon as possible. As mentioned, there is no need for Leeds to rush and panic, which gives them an upper hand when it comes to recruitment.

Manchester United have pulled out of the race to sign another midfielder after it was confirmed they have cooled their interest in Nottingham Forest’s Elliot Anderson.

Reports emerged this week that Manchester United are pulling away from their pursuit of Anderson, as they don’t want to be dragged into a bidding war.

David Ornstein recently reported that Manchester City saw a bid which could total £120m rejected by Forest, which has forced United into taking a step back.

Signing another player in the middle of the park is a huge priority for United, but they won’t want to overpay.

Forest are demanding a huge fee for Anderson, and with Man City insisting on securing his signature, United are going to have to cough up a lot of money to sign him.

Man Utd Pull Out of Another Race

According to Italian journalist Romano, Manchester United have pulled out of the race to sign another midfielder ahead of the summer transfer window.

Romano confirms that United are not going to make a move to sign Newcastle United star Sandro Tonali despite being interested in securing his signature.

United are also pushing to sign Newcastle defender Lewis Hall, and they believe that trying to sign both from the Magpies will make it an incredibly expensive deal.

Instead, United are pursuing alternative targets.

According to reports, Manchester United are set to make an opening offer to sign West Ham midfielder Mateus Fernandes.

The Portuguese star is a cheaper alternative to Anderson, with the Hammers reportedly demanding in the region of £85m.

Anderson has always been a dream target for United, but with the Red Devils not wanting to overpay, Fernandes is a smart alternative.

West Ham were relegated from the Premier League during the 2025-2026 season, meaning Fernandes is looking for a move back to a top league.

United are clearly looking to be smart with their recruitment this summer, pulling away from deals for Tonali and Anderson in order to find value in the market.

Ibiza Final Boss has revealed exactly what his opponent Jordan McCann said to him after sensationally biting him during their grudge boxing match on the undercard of Tommy Fury vs Eddie Hall in Manchester.

Final Boss, whose real name is Jack Kay, shot to fame on social media while on holiday in the iconic destination. On Saturday night, he laced up the gloves for the very first time as he took on Salford-based rapper and content creator McCann in a four-round bout.

Their contest will live long in the memory, but not for the technical skill on show. Both men were exhausted by the end of the first round as they winged punches at each other.

Ibiza Final Boss was the slightly more accurate fighter, despite McCann having trained alongside former unified world heavyweight champion Tyson Fury. ‘The Gypsy King’ even accompanied Jordan on his ring walk at the AO Arena.

Once the opening round was over, the fight truly descended into chaos, with McCann headbutting his foe and even rugby tackling him through the ropes before the end of the bout.

Jordan McCann Bites Ibiza Final Boss

However, the fight’s most viral moment came when Jordan channelled his inner Mike Tyson and bit the Ibiza Final Boss’ ear, mirroring Iron’s Mike infamous foul against Evander Holyfield in 1997.

While Tyson was disqualified in that instance, McCann’s bite went unpunished by the referee. Justice was done, in a sense, when the Final Boss was awarded a majority decision victory on the judges’ scorecards.

After the fight, McCann had plenty to say to the crowd who were loudly booing him, but apparently didn’t have many words for his opponent, even after trying to take a chunk out of him.

Jordan McCann’s Words to Ibiza Final Boss After Biting Him

Following his debut victory, Ibiza Final Boss sat down with iFL TV to reflect upon the events of the evening. Asked whether McCann had said anything to him after the bout, the victorious fighter confirmed:

“I passed him in the corridor. He shook my hand and said: ‘Respect. You just beat me in my home town.’

Despite the controversial nature of the fight and the fact that the capacity crowd in Manchester couldn’t get enough of the spectacle, neither man called for a rematch afterwards.

McCann confirmed that financial gain was his main motivation for taking the fight as he revealed his salary to the crowd in a post-fight rant.

“Whoever boos me is a scruff. All your birds are fat sl***. I’ll sh** all your birds. I got paid 50 grand, and now I’m gonna marry my girlfriend and buy my mam a new kitchen!”
