Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.LEEDS UNITED'S search for a goalscorer has led them to join the clamour for Kennet Andersson, the French-based Swedish international striker in whom Everton, Sheffield Wednesday and Crystal Palace have all shown interest, writes Phil Shaw.
Andersson moved from Lille to Caen after the World Cup finals, during which he scored five goals as the Swedes took third place. He had rejected Palace on the grounds that he preferred to play 40 games rather than 60 a season, but later became a target for Mike Walker and Trevor Francis.
Wednesday agreed a pounds 1.5m fee, but pulled out when Caen upped the price after Andersson's goal for his country in Switzerland last week. Leeds, for whom Brian Deane has scored only 14 times in 15 months since Howard Wilkinson bought him for pounds 2.7m, have now enquired about the 27-year- old six-footer.
