Leeds cull: 13 senior players fighting for their jobs as behind-the-scenes plans made
Matthew Pennington
Like Lasogga, Pennington is on a season-long loan. Much was expected of the young Everton defender, but he has been a disappointment. Not only has his fitness been iffy, but his lack of stature and confidence on the ball has meant even Cooper has been selected ahead of him when fit and not serving a suspension. Christiansen always spoke warmly of Pennington, but Heckingbottom has not indicated his desire to convert the loan into a permanent transfer.
In other Leeds United news, supporters of the club went into meltdown today at an “absolutely outrageous” and “truly special” Under-23s player after he ripped Cardiff City apart in a 3-0 win at Thorpe Arch.
