Leeds United are believed to be in pole position to sign a Premier League defender in the final days of the summer transfer window.
Leeds transfer rumours
It is set to be a busy end to the transfer window at Elland Road, as the 49ers Enterprises look to seal a plethora of new signings following a number of exits.
In the last seven days, Largie Ramazani has put pen to paper on a permanent Leeds contract, joining from Almeria, whereas Manor Solomon has signed on loan from Tottenham. The duo will look to fill the void left by Crysencio Summerville and Georginio Rutter, with Solomon admitting he is fit and ready to go following an injury-hit campaign with Spurs last time out.
“As soon as the interest from Leeds came, I started to look for the players, for the coach and I’ve spoken with the manager and he explained to me about the style of playing, about the players that there are in Leeds.
“I know there is a group of great lads, young people with great desire, with great techniques and I’m looking forward to playing with them and to help them in the best way I can. I just want to get going.
“Obviously I had a really tough season last season. I had an injury that happened in the beginning of the season and then for the majority of the season, I couldn’t play football. But now I am fit and I’m ready to go, I’m ready to show myself again.
“I’m ready to go back to the biggest levels again and hopefully we’ll have a great season here at Leeds. We have one goal and everyone knows our goal, hopefully we’ll do it together.”
