A career in print magazines that included editing PC Zone, launching PokerPlayer and redesigning The Big Issue has finally led Dave to writing about the love of his life, Leeds United. It’s been a tough 2020 but the single scariest moment was the first quarter of the game against Man City. Rodrigo will be the saviour this season.

Roma striker Umar Sadiq has undergone a medical at Rangers and is set to be unveiled as Steven Gerrard's eighth signing of the season.

The Daily Mail claims that he still needs a work permit before he can confirm his season-loan move.

The 21-year-old Nigerian striker, who has won six caps for his country in the Olympics, has made six senior appearances for Roma and scored two goals.

He joined Roma for £2.25m from Spezia in 2016, and has enjoyed loan spells at Bologna and Torino. Gerrard is now set to offer him a massive stage at Ibrox that could give his career a big boost.

The striker stands 6ft 3in and is a towering presence, who should fit into the Scottish Premiership perfectly.
