It has been learned by Football Insider that Leeds United will soon reveal the names of three new arrivals.
This week, the recently promoted Premier League team made progress in acquiring Fulham right-back Cody Drameh and Wigan Athletic forward Joe Gelhardt.
According to a Leeds insider, the club has accepted bids for 18-year-olds Gelhardt and Drameh, and personal details have been settled.
Both agreements are nearing completion and will be made public in the next few days.
The Whites will also announce Jack Harrison’s signing of a new season-long loan from Man City, completing another grab.
With the completion of the three agreements, Leeds will have added five summer recruits overall, including Helder Costa and Illan Meslier, who were previously signed on as permanent fixtures.
Two young players who Leeds believes can have a significant impact on Marcelo Bielsa’s youth-focused team are Gelhardt and Drameh.
The manager places a strong focus on players’ development and nurturing those who can live up to his high standards.
The administrators of Wigan have agreed to accept Gelhardt’s offer of £1 million plus performance-related bonuses.
Additionally, United has agreed to pay Drameh, another England youth international, an initial price of £300,000 with the possibility of a £1 million transfer.
