Leeds United coach Jesse Marsh
This summer, the Premier League transfer market has shown a trend of "polarization": either a big draw or a stay. BIG6 members such as Manchester City, Liverpool, Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal have spent thousands of dollars to recruit to enrich the depth of the squad, Villa, Newcasta and other midstream teams have also been introduced, Diego Carlos, Botman, europe's two hottest centre-backs have been recruited by Villa and Newcastle respectively, and relegation teams Southampton, Fulham, Leeds United and Nottingham Forest have also had good gains in the transfer market. On the contrary, other teams continue to stand still, such as Chelsea, Everton, Crystal Palace, Bournemouth and other teams that have only made minor repairs to the squad and have not yet strong reinforcements.
Marsh, Adams and Aronson are all from the United States
Leeds United is undoubtedly the most eye-catching among the many "buy-buy" teams in the Premier League this summer, and in the case of having lost England international midfielder Phillips, Leeds United will also face the departure of Brazilian international Rafinha, and the departure of the two will bring about 100 million pounds to Leeds United, which will also make them one of the most competitive teams in the European transfer market this summer.
According to the "Transfer Market" data, as of now, with Rafinha not leaving the team, Leeds United has invested more than 100 million pounds this summer! It is worth mentioning that they have signed three players from the "Red Bull" team, namely us international Brenden Aaronson from Red Bull Salzburg, Denmark international Rasmus Kristensen and US international Tyler Adams from Red Bull Leipzig.
The "Red Bull" team's demon production rate in the past few years is no less than that of traditional star-making factories such as Porto, Benfica, Ajax, and Genk, and it seems to have the tendency to sit on the "first black shop" in Europe. Mane, Camppur, Haaland, Samaseku, Takumi Minamino, Huang Xican and other potential new stars have landed in the five major leagues and even European giants from here. European giants such as Dortmund even tacitly established a "supply chain" with Red Bull Salzburg, after selling Haaland at a high price, Dortmund brought in the team's top scorer Adeymi from Salzburg this summer, and in the next few years, if Adeymi cashed in on his talent, it was not ruled out that Dortmund would sell him at a high price and once again "pick up" from Salzburg.
Leeds United are expected to start the new season
After the entry of former Salzburg Red Bull coach Jesse Mahi, Leeds United's "Red Bull" trend is more obvious, and in the 2020-21 season, Mahi led the team to complete eight consecutive championships as Red Bull Salzburg, With Alenson being the main forward of the team at that time and Christensen being the main right-back. Taylor Adams, although not red bull salzburg, was directly "promoted" from Red Bull New York to Red Bull Leipzig, and had a brief cooperation with Marsh last season, and Adams, who played as a defensive midfielder, was also seen as a direct stand-in for Phillips' departure.
In addition to red bull three, Leeds United also brought in Colombian winger Luis Sinistella from Feyenoord this summer, Spanish midfielder Roca from Bayern Munich and midfielder Jabi from Manchester City U23. Among the relegation teams in the Premier League, Leeds United moves the most frequently, and looking at the strength on paper alone, the goal of Leeds United in the new season may not be only satisfied with relegation.

In the past, the middle and lower relegation teams in the Premier League often committed a common problem of large-scale reinforcements in the summer transfer window, Sunderland in the early years, Fulham in the previous years were because of many reinforcements, lack of tacit understanding, resulting in the team in most of the season in the run-in lineup, the previous team in the secondary league was also destroyed, the new system in the short summer offseason also failed to polish success, and finally suffered relegation.
And such as Leeds United's "system moving" type of reinforcements, may provide a new way to buy people for the Premier League relegation team, before wolves rely on Portuguese Super League players to gain a foothold in the Premier League, perhaps the new season of Leeds United will also bring surprises to people.
