Goodwin Signals Dundee United Signing, Praises Cohen Leiper

Incoming Moves Likely This Weekend

Jim Goodwin says Dundee United have “one or two” players in the pipeline who are “bubbling away.” He expects to deliver positive news either over the weekend or early next week on at least one of those targets. The club still needs a couple of wide players to bolster the squad, and Republic of Ireland’s Will Ferry—who can play on the left flank both offensively and defensively—was omitted from the matchday roster at Forthbank Stadium. Ferry has been linked with a move away from Tannadice, leaving room for new signings.

Young Winger Cohen Leiper Earns Praise

The 16‑year‑old substitute Cohen Leiper earned glowing comments after his impact against Stirling Albion. Goodwin declared the teenager “thoroughly deserves” his plaudits and highlighted the excitement young wingers bring to fans. He noted the buzz in the crowd when Leiper went at opponents, adding that the experience fuels the player’s confidence. The manager vowed to nurture that energy in training, seeing it rewarded on the pitch.

Sapsford Secures Cup Win

Zac Sapsford’s added‑time penalty handed United a 1‑0 victory over Stirling Albion, giving the Tangerines a winning start in the Premier Sports Cup group stage. The win positions Dundee United strongly ahead of their next group matches. The victory also showcased squad depth, with both established figures and fresh talent contributing. Leiper’s cameo added extra momentum to the team’s performance.

Transfer Window Key for United

The upcoming window is crucial for Dundee United as they look to address the wide‑player deficit highlighted by Goodwin. Fans can anticipate an announcement soon if the club finalises a deal. A blend of youth development and strategic signings could shape United’s season prospects. Meanwhile, the club continues to monitor the market for additional targets to strengthen the side.
