January’s been good to Leeds United with a flurry of promising transfers which have already been done, but there is yet still business to attend to today, the final hours of the window. Yesterday, Weston McKennie’s transfer was, at long last, completed, but senior exits may dominate deadline day.
After Max Wober and Georginio Rutter arrived for around £40m in the first half of the month, Leeds committed to a loan deal with McKennie which will require a £30m-plus commitment to keep him beyond the summer. The one remaining arrival guaranteed to get done is Diogo Monteiro.
The 18-year-old Portugal youth international is playing for Swiss Super League outfit Servette, but completed the formalities on his Elland Road switch yesterday. Once the teenager’s deal is announced, there are not currently any more incomings close to completion as we start the day.
