News about Georginio Rutter

In what could prove a crucial fixture in the race for the top six later in the season - Newcastle and Brighton go head-to-head at St James' Park today. The Magpies - who have lost just one Premier League game at home since December of last year - are 19/20 favourites to secure their fourth win of the season. Meanwhile, Brighton are 12/5 outsiders to cause the upset in the North East. The Seagulls pulled off a fantastic comeback victory in their last game before the international break - overcoming a 2-0 deficit at half-time against Tottenham Hotspur to reign supreme 3-2.

James Maddison has made an honest admission about Tottenham's mentality following their 3-2 defeat against Brighton. Maddison scored in the first half to make it 2-0 after Brennan Johnson had given Tottenham the lead. However, Tottenham, remarkably, ended up losing 3-2 as Yankuba Minteh, Georginio Rutter and Danny Welbeck scored for Brighton.

Dimitar Berbatov has shared his disbelief at Spurs' second-half capitulation at Brighton, as Ange Postecoglou's men threw away a 2-0 lead to lose to the hosts 3-2.  Three second-half goals from Yankuba Minteh, Georginio Rutter and Danny Welbeck totally turned the game on its head, after Spurs had led 2-0 with a dominant first-half display. Berbatov, who made 70 Premier League appearances for Spurs between 2006 and 2009, reflected on the result with fellow Sky Sports pundits, Les Ferdinand and Steve Sidwell. 

BRIGHTON 3-2 TOTTENHAM- MATT BARLOW AT THE AMEX: End of the pier football, we might call it. Breathless and frenzied. Littered with errors. Blurring the senses and delivering a thrilling entertainment by the seaside. Tottenham, two up and cruising at the interval through Brennan Johnson and James Maddison. Slick and aggressive, they might easily have been further ahead. Brighton fought back and made their visitors look amateurish at the back. Goals by Yankuba Minteh and Georginio Rutter levelled and Danny Welbeck headed in the winner.

Liverpool have a shot at taking a four-point advantage over their Premier League title rivals this weekend as they get us going in the 12:30pm Saturday kick-off against Crystal Palace. Gameweek 7 also offers peril if you're connected with Manchester United , particularly if your name is Erik ten Hag . The Red Devils face a trip to Aston Villa and a negative result could spell time on the Dutchman's Old Trafford reign. Erling Haaland didn't score last weekend against Newcastle, believe it or not, but still costs you the prettiest penny out of all with a price of £15.3million.

Chelsea attacker Cole Palmer set a Premier League record with his dazzling display against Brighton. The England international has made a fantastic start to the season with the Blues and his first-half performance against Brighton solidified that. Chelsea actually found themselves a goal behind after Georginio Rutter gave the Seagulls the lead inside 10 minutes.

Cole Palmer shone as Chelsea came from behind to beat Brighton 4-2 on a record setting day for the Blues attacker. Georginio Rutter had opened the scoring for Brighton inside 10 minutes but Palmer pegged the Seagulls back in 21st minute with his first of what would be four goals. Palmer than gave his side the lead from the penalty spot, before wrapping up his hat trick with a stunning free kick.

Brighton's new signing Matt O'Riley is set for a lengthy spell on the sidelines after picking up an ankle injury just nine minutes into his debut on Tuesday night. O'Riley completed his £25m move from Celtic on Monday and was thrown straight into the starting XI to face Crawley Town in the Carabao Cup the following evening. But his debut was ruined by a tackle that his manager Fabian Hurzeler branded 'ridiculous' as he hobbled off inside the opening 10 minutes before leaving the stadium on crutches.

Brighton have completed the signing of Leeds forward Georginio Rutter, the Premier League club have announced. The 22-year-old has signed a five-year contract with the Seagulls after moving for a reported club record £40million fee.  The France Under-21 international scored eight goals and contributed a further 16 assists last season for Leeds, whom he joined from Hoffenheim in January last year.

Brighton are on the brink of signing Leeds striker Georginio Rutter for £40million after the Seagulls 'activated the French star's release clause'. The decision now lies in the hands of the 22-year-old with the Premier League side confident the forward will agree terms and make the move to the south coast. Leeds rejected two bids of £29m and £35m from Brighton earlier in the summer before Fabian Hurzeler's side eventually met the terms of the clause, which came into effect after the Yorkshire team were relegated from the top flight in 2023. The France under-21 international, whose deal extends until 2028, is believed to have behaved in a respectful way amid growing interest in his signature and he is among the most well-liked players in the squad at Elland Road, the New York Times reports. As a result, he made himself available to be selected for Leeds' Carabao Cup clash against Middlesborough, coming on as a second-half replacement in a 3-0 defeat last night.

The Seagulls, who had a £30m bid rejected for Leeds United forward Georginio Rutter, have also offered £7m plus add-ons for Gothenburg midfielder Malick Yalcouye, 18. Liverpool are not in for Wieffer as they believe they have enough cover - despite Dutch reports.

Leeds United will be forced to sell a number of prized assets this summer to balance the books after missing out on the payday of promotion to the Premier League enhanced their bleak financial outlook. Crysensio Summerville could lead a mass exodus at Elland Road after Leeds lost 1-0 to Southampton in Sunday's play-off final. Not winning a return to the top flight means the club lost out on north of £100m in matchday, broadcast and commercial revenue. Leeds will not just have to sell before they can buy this summer - but also settle substantial outstanding amounts owed in past transfers. It is understood the club owe £189.7m in agreed instalments of payments for player acquisitions before this year.

LEWIS STEELE AT WEMBLEY: Just 33 days ago, Russell Martin slumped in a chair in the press conference room at Leicester's King Power Stadium sporting an expression of disbelief. His team had just waved the white flag in the race for automatic promotion by being thumped 5-0. 'I did not like what I saw from my team one bit,' he said, looking like he had run out of puff after an arduous season of ups and downs. 'Body language, arms up in the air. It's inexcusable. Players need to show love for each other, I'm fed up of doing it. 'They need to feel some pain and the same pain that I'm feeling right now, and the hurt that I'm feeling. It's pathetic. This result and performance is not on. How much do we really want to win promotion? How much do we care?'

LEWIS STEELE: The Championship is back for another jam-packed Easter season, with some teams making or breaking a team's promotion campaign, while others relegating for points in order to prevent dreaded relegation. Leicester won 13 games in the first 14 games back in the second tier after their fairytale era ended with relegation. However, the Championship is a marathon, not a sprint, and the Foxes have faltered, not a sprint.

When Leeds' Crysencio Summerville, Joel Piroe, and Patrick Bamford face Sheffield Wednesday in the Championship on Wednesday, they are joint favorites at 5/1 to finish first. The three players have all been in good form in front of goal this season, with the trio scoring 32 goals in the Championship in 2023-24. Georginio Rutter and Daniel James, their coworkers, are next in the market at 11/2 and 6/1 respectively. Conversely, it's Ike Ugbo who is the best-backed for the home front, with the 25-year-old selling at 8/1 to land first in the back of the net first.

At 1/1, 'Crysencio Summerville will shoot or assist,' and 'Georginio Rutter will have 2+ shots on target in each half' at 11/2, with 'Mads Hermansen winning 1+ fouls' at 8/1.

MATT BAMSEY AT ELLAND ROAD: Leeds put out an emphatic promotional warning by winning their eighth straight victory to advance back to the automatic promotion positions. Wilfried Gnonto scored his fourth league goal in as many league games before Georginio Rutter ended the game as Leeds stretched their undefeated run against Plymouth to ten games. More importantly, they saw Southampton win their ninth away victory of the season lift them to second place after suffering their first home league loss on the plucky Pilgrims since October.

WONDERS OF THE PYRAMID: Just like that, we're now in the second half of the Championship season, with tables starting to get more organized, but there is a lot more to play for. With Leicester leading Ipswich Town by six points after the two shared a point each in their Boxing Day blockbuster brawl at Portman Road, the battle for supremacy is heating up. With Southampton chasing down the front-runners just five points behind the Tractor Boys, they will have to look in their rear-view mirrors, with fellow recently promoted Leeds not far behind either.

As the nexus of any Leeds United promotion campaign, Daniel Farke has made a big deal of turning Elland Road into a fortress. As Swansea took a surprise second-minute lead, it appeared that their defenses had been breached. But this Leeds side does appear to have a lot of energy from the big crowds here and on the goals of Joel Piroe, Georginio Rutter and Dan James, who earned a crucial victory to remain on the coattails of top-two Leicester and Ipswich.
