Leeds United transfer news: Joe Rodon contract signed, Nico Elvedi deal confirmed

The summer transfer window is into its final fortnight and Leeds United look set to be busy.

Elland Road chiefs have enjoyed an impressive window so far, albeit one a little quieter than last summer’s 10-man influx. There have been three incomings, with free agent Harry Wilson joined by £74million pair Tarik Muharemovic and James Trafford.

A fourth signing is expected soon, with centre-back Nico Elvedi set to join in a permanent switch from Borussia Monchengladbach. The 29-year-old has been in West Yorkshire undergoing medical tests and confirmation now feels like a matter of time.

Leeds are reported to be paying an initial £6.8m for Elvedi, which could rise to £8.5m if add-ons are met. For the Swiss international to make his debut at Nottingham Forest this weekend, he must be registered by 12pm Friday.

On the outgoing front, Leeds confirmed the departure of Joël Piroe on loan to West Ham United this morning. The YEP understands an initial season-long loan includes an obligation to buy should the Hammers be promoted from the Championship.

And Sebastiaan Bornauw is also on the verge of leaving Leeds, with the defender set to join Hamburg on loan while the Bundesliga side hold an option to make the deal permanent. On Tuesday night, Bornauw penned an emotional goodbye message to Elland Road on his Instagram.

Once the aforementioned business is wrapped up, expected reports to emerge of interest across other positions Leeds are keen to strengthen. Piroe will need to be replaced with added depth at striker, while a top-level left-sided attacker is also wanted.

Elland Road chiefs would also like to add depth on the left side of defence, particularly with Gabriel Gudmundsson currently out injured. They also want a back-up goalkeeper to support James Trafford with Lucas Perri expected to join Torino on loan imminently.
