Leeds United look to have agreed a deal to appoint a new head of recruitment at the end of this month, with Aberdeen’s Jordan Miles heading south from Scotland to form another key part of the 49ers’ growing team.
The Whites needed an overhaul from top to bottom in the summer, and it was triggered by the complete takeover by the 49ers from Andrea Radrizzani.
Boardroom reshuffling has been a patient process ever since, with key appointments made as and when they become possible, with the latest being the head of recruitment position.

They claim that compensation will be paid by the Elland Road club to see Miles uprooted for the second time in six months after only moving to Pittodrie in the summer months.
