A Premier League club makes a last-minute effort to sign a Leeds United star, according to the most recent transfer news from Elland Road.
As the last hours of the summer transfer window approach, Leeds United may still have some unfinished business.
As previously reported by the YEP, Colombian international Luis Sinisterra is the subject of a last-minute loan offer from Premier League team Bournemouth. Several foreign clubs are also reportedly interested in the winger, whose future at Elland Road is still up in the air.
The 24-year-old’s first campaign in England ended in relegation from the Premier League, but he still managed to score seven goals and provide one assist for the Whites last year. Sinisterra scored in a thrilling 4-3 victory against Ipswich Town to kick off the new season, but it now appears that might be his last outing for the team.
Whites manager Daniel Farke stated he was optimistic he could keep his squad after the deadline passed in his pre-match news conference ahead of Saturday’s home game against Sheffield Wednesday.
“You can’t give a guarantee, but we have made it through the previous eight weeks, so I’m pretty sure we will make it through the following eight hours,” he remarked. Although you can never guarantee in the football industry. I must thank our board, and I’m happy with this window so far. I’m sure we’ll have a successful last eight hours. A few quieter days are something I am looking forward to.
The transfer window is scheduled to close at 11 p.m. this evening, but Bournemouth might make sure they have a further two hours to complete the specifics of a potential move for Sinisterra.
If the club has submitted a deal sheet, the Cherries and their Premier League competitors may be permitted until 1am to finalize the transaction. Before the extra time can be given, the sheet must detail the possible transfer and attest that an agreement has been reached.
The information needed on this page is quite straightforward and includes the clubs, players involved, and any fees that may be paid. On the day of the transfer deadline, deal sheets must be requested by 9 p.m. and filed by 11 p.m.
Leeds won’t be able to use deal sheets, unlike last season, if they want to attempt and make a last-minute acquisition because the EFL does not have such a facility.
