Mark Chapman is joined by The Athletic's Leeds United writer, Phil Hay who brings exclusive insight on how the newly promoted side sealed their record-breaking deal for Rodrigo and how Marcelo Bielsa is getting his team ready for the Premier League.

And Mark speaks to Ryan Conway about his piece on The Athletic that asks if players taking a knee before Premier League games was just a gesture.
