AliousLeeds United’s season opener at Elland Road ended in a 3-3 draw against Portsmouth, marking a rocky start to their promotion campaign.
Despite a strong pre-season, the team showed signs of change and struggled without Crysencio Summerville, missing chances and lacking creativity.
Goals from Pascal Struijk, Wilfried Gnonto, and Brenden Aaronson salvaged a point for Leeds, though Aaronson missed a clear opportunity to win the game.
While the result wasn’t ideal, it could have been worse.
Following the match, reports emerged linking Leeds with Chelsea’s young defender Bashir Humphreys.
According to Fabrizio Romano, Chelsea is looking to sell Humphreys, with Leeds, Burnley, and several Bundesliga clubs showing interest.
Humphreys, an England U21 international, has experience in the Championship and 2. Bundesliga.
His loan spell at Swansea earned him praise from then-manager Michael Duff, who commended Humphreys’ performance against experienced players like Jamie Vardy.
This potential signing suggests Leeds is planning for the future, aiming to acquire players who can grow with the club as they target Premier League promotion.
