Emotional Farewell: Leeds manager Farke opens up about Rutter departure

There are reports suggesting that Leeds United will be parting ways with another valuable player from their previous season's squad, as Rutter is said to be heading to Brighton.

Given they were unable to secure promotion to the Premier League, clauses in contracts have meant that Leeds have been powerless to stop key players leaving.

Manager Daniel Farke stated: “This morning was pretty emotional because he more or less said goodbye.

“He said goodbye in a pretty emotional way to each and every staff member and to each of his team-mates. 

“I expect in the next 24 to 48 hours, it will be confirmed and I’m pretty sure we will be without him.”
