Daniel Farke’s Leeds squad is looking much healthier than it did a number of weeks ago after eight arrivals - two of which were announced yesterday.

Drameh goes on loan

Cody Drameh will be leaving Elland Road for the third time as he joins Birmingham City on a season-long loan.

There’s an option to buy for the Blues, who have moved quickly to land the young defender after the arrival of Djed Spence at Leeds.

Drameh’s contract is up at the end of this season, therefore it’s unlikely he’ll be seen in a Leeds shirt again.
