Sam Greenwood probably wins the award for the most-surprising transfer of the summer transfer window involving Leeds United, after the club confirmed his permanent exit on Wednesday evening.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Until tonight, Leeds<\/a> had not sold a permanent player this summer. Rasmus Kristensen\u2019s permanent move to German side Eintracht Frankfurt, which was confirmed in April, is on this year\u2019s books for a \u00a37.7m fee.<\/p>\n

Diogo Monteiro has been sold to Portuguese side Arouca<\/a>, though Monteiro is largely an U21 player and has not been involved with the first team or made his debut since he joined from Servette in 2023.<\/p>\n

However, that has now all changed. Reports emerged on Tuesday night that Sam Greenwood would be leaving Leeds permanently<\/a> after two loan spells with Middlesbrough and Preston, in the last two seasons.<\/p>\n

Fabrizio Romano reported that Leeds would receive a \u00a33.5m<\/a> fee for the set-piece specialist. A good bit of business for Leeds, who only paid an initial \u00a33m to land Greenwood<\/a> from Arsenal way back in 2020.<\/p>\n

Just 35 appearances and one goal later, and Greenwood has made the shock move to go to Poland and try something new. The versatile attacker has completed a move to Pogon, and will wear the no.90 shirt.<\/p>\n

Following Leeds\u2019 confirmation that Greenwood has left the club permanently, Greenwood took to social media to share his delight at leaving Leeds and joining Pogon, describing the club\u2019s supporters as \u201cloyal\u201d.<\/p>\n

Greenwood said on Instagram: \u201cSo happy to be at this brilliant club. Can\u2019t wait to be playing at my new home in front of you loyal fans.\u201d<\/p>\n

Luke Ayling and Tyler Roberts among those to react to Leeds exit<\/p>\n

Greenwood finally ends a difficult spell for him, after initially impressing at Preston before struggling in the second half of 24-25. Preston expert Olly Dawes detailed Greenwood\u2019s drop off<\/a> to LeedsUnited.News<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

It was believed that Leeds wanted between \u00a33m and \u00a34m for Greenwood<\/a>, Joe Gelhardt and Darko Gyabi and while Gelhardt has gone back on loan to Hull, Leeds have managed to rake in the fee for Greenwood.<\/p>\n

Gelhardt was among those to react to his old Leeds pal moving to Poland, as did former Leeds teammate and Middlesbrough pal Luke Ayling<\/a>.
