Leeds United look to enhance their use of data intelligence to manage player welfare. Currently sidelined: J. Bogle, F. Buonanotte, I. Gruev, G. Gudmundsson, N. Okafor, S. Longstaff.

What happened?

Leeds have deepened their links with Kitman Labs, who offer intelligence in bringing together data points to look after players from an injuries and developmental perspective.

Why it matters for Leeds United

CEO of Kitman Labs, Stephen Smith, says the move from Leeds "shows intent". "We are not coming in telling them what to do," he said. "It's very much about helping them implement the types of processes they want."

What comes next?

The team at BBC Radio Leeds have discussed Leeds United's transfer options this summer. The goalkeeper position is one where clarity may be needed, with Adam Pope explaining there has been historic interest in Lucas Perri.

Leeds United have moved closer to finalising a deal for Southampton's Northern Ireland midfielder Shea Charles, 22, who only has a year left on his current contract.

As the summer transfer window has now been officially open for a week, Leeds United are eyeing new signings to strengthen their squad. The BBC has launched live match updates so you can see the score directly on your lock screen through the full 90 minutes and beyond.

This feature will also extend into the 2026-27 Premier League season, so you're never out of the loop. A traditional 3pm kick-off is a welcome start to the campaign at Nottingham Forest but a repeat of Leeds' wretched display there last season will not be.
