REGRETTING IS THE LAST SON:Leeds United must be regretting the decision to sell Jaidon Anthony, especially when comparing his current form to the performances of their recent departures, such as Liam Piroe and Manor Solomon.

Anthony, who was sold to AFC Bournemouth, has quickly proven himself to be an outstanding talent in the Premier League.

In the 2023/24 season, Anthony’s impact on the field has been significant. His agility, pace, and attacking flair have made him a standout performer for Bournemouth, outscoring both Piroe and Solomon, who were also former Leeds players. Piroe, despite his impressive skillset, has struggled to find consistency in his performances for Swansea City, while Solomon, although showing flashes of his potential at Tottenham Hotspur, has not been able to fully shine in the way that Anthony has.

Leeds’ decision to part ways with the promising young winger in favor of other priorities seems questionable, especially given the current financial strain they have faced in their attempts to return to the Premier League. Anthony’s ability to make an immediate impact and provide direct contributions to goals has highlighted the missed opportunity.

Looking at the success of Anthony, Leeds must regret the choice, especially when it is clear that his dynamism in the attacking third could have been a huge asset to their team. While Leeds still have quality players in their squad, losing a talent like Anthony — who continues to rise to prominence — makes the transfer decision look even more questionable as time passes.
