Deadline Day is upon us
After last night’s Weston McKennie deal was sealed, we’re expecting at least one piece of outgoing business, and one incoming.
Diogo Monteiro - an 18-year-old central defender from Servette - is expected to be confirmed as a Leeds United player. Meanwhile Diego Llorente is set to complete a loan move to AS Roma.
Any further business, watch this space...
McKennie arrival
Yesterday, Leeds United welcomed USMNT midfielder Weston McKennie to Elland Road on an initial loan deal, which could be made permanent for £30 million in the summer.
He reunited with international teammate and close friend Tyler Adams, too. Read all about it here.
Fair to say Weston McKennie is a big fan of Elland Road, already. His first words as a Leeds United player.
Llorente latest
Diego Llorente arrived in Italy yesterday evening, probably went for an expensive meal at one of Rome’s finest restaurants and is currently undergoing a medical ahead of signing for AS Roma.
Managed by Jose Mourinho, the Italian side are expected to agree an £18 million option to buy, too, which would see Leeds recoup the fee they paid Real Sociedad in 2020.
