Despite stealing a vast majority of headlines after the Everton game, Nmecha could well find he's been upgraded on if the €50m (£43m) striker does seal a switch to England shortly, on top of Joel Piroe also feeling less secure about his first-team minutes moving forward.

Monday’s Leeds United hero Lukas Nmecha says his side showed a lot of maturity throughout their win over Everton but that the team lacked the cutting edge in the final third.

Leeds won 1-0 via a late penalty for a hand-ball against James Tarkowski and converted by Nmecha. The summer signing later said: "Amazing. I'm really happy. It was a great first game.

Nmecha secured a "massive" win for Leeds, but this was also definitely a game which gives Farke ammo to push for his new striker. Rasmus Hojlund, anyone?

That is what Farke is mindful of - a bloated cohort. If the signing of AC Milan winger Noah Okafor comes off then his ability to lead the line could be handy and perhaps hints that in fact no more centre-forwards will be acquired.

President Donald Trump has taken aim at MSNBC host Nicolle Wallace in a bizarre social media rant. The drama started when 79-year-old Trump kicked off his Sunday morning with a cryptic post on Truth Social. “Bela,” he wrote, leaving his followers to debate the meaning of the word.

Nmecha also won as many duels (one) as Piroe managed (one) in 78 minutes on the pitch, per Sofascore, which perhaps speaks to the difference in physicality and mobility between the two forwards, as the substitute immediately looked to cause problems for Tarkowski and Michael Keane.

Lukas Nmecha’s late penalty sealed Leeds’ 1-0 victory against Everton in their first game back in the top flight after a two-year absence on Monday.
