Leeds United are closing in on the €6million signing of defender Sebastiaan Bornauw from German side VfL Wolfsburg. The 26-year-old has been at Thorp Arch undergoing medical tests throughout Monday and is expected to put pen to paper on a four-year deal, as exclusively revealed by the YEP.
While Bornauw’s move to Elland Road has not been officially confirmed yet, he is widely expected to become summer transfer number three and after signing on the dotted line and completing media duties, the defender will have to pick his squad number. He claimed the No.3 shirt at Wolfsburg and that is one of several that look set to become available this summer.
Fellow arrivals Lukas Nmecha and Jaka Bijol are also yet to decide on a Leeds shirt number. And with that in mind, the YEP has taken a look at what is available to all three below.
