A smug Jayden Bogle will be thrilled he made the choice to move from Sheffield United to Leeds United.
The Blades’ biggest downfall this season was landing Bogle right in Leeds’ laps.
A £5m summer deal has proven to be the bargain of the season as Daniel Farke will have no complaints.
Chris Wilder might though, as Leeds could replicate Bogle’s deal with Gus Hamer in what would be a severe blow for Sheffield.
It seems like no love has been lost when it comes to Bogle and Sheffield though, as the right-back has sent a sneaky dig following Leeds’ promotion.
Leeds United’s Jayden Bogle sends dig to Sheffield United
It’s been a fantastic season for the 24-year-old who made the controversial switch in the summer.
The move has paid off dividends though, as Bogle has proven to be not only one of Leeds’ players of the season, but the Championship’s.
| Bogle’s statistics for Leeds in the Championship | |
| Games played | 42 |
| Goals | 6 |
| Assists | 4 |
| Chances created | 32 |
| Tackles won % | 63.5% |
| Duels won per 90 | 5.84 |
Wilder will no doubt be seething that they let him go, and for just £5m is nothing but criminal.
Bogle has been ‘sensational’ for Leeds and will be hoping to replicate his fortunes in the Premier League, and it’s clear who he much prefers out of the two Yorkshire sides.
Speaking to BBC Sport West Yorkshire, Bogle sent a slight dig to Wilder’s men after sharing his preference.
“To do it with this club makes it ten times better,” Bogle said.
“It’s an amazing experience, something I’ve never had before.
“That was our aim at the start of the season (win the title). We’ve still got our goal in mind.”

Bogle is one of the very few nailed-on at Leeds for next season
With Leeds’ starting lineup being a good enough level for Championship, this doesn’t mean they’ll find the Premier League easy.
The Whites have a strong squad, but the jump up to the top flight will give Farke a real shock, and at least seven or eight players need to come through the door.
This is in no way harsh to say after previous seasons have shown newly promoted teams can’t compete with a Championship-level squad.

With Leeds set for a financial windfall, this bodes well for the next campaign, but there are many areas still in need of improvement.
There are probably only four players’ positions currently off limits, and that includes Bogle at right-back, Dan James on the wing, Ao Tanaka’s midfield role, and Joe Rodon at the back.
Every other player could leave or be deemed unreliable due to fitness or form, so it’s clear where Farke needs to strengthen.
