Leeds United are close to completing a deal to sign Lille left-back Gabriel Gudmundsson, with the defender due to fly over to the UK imminently.
Daniel Farke has three fresh signings thus far in the summer transfer window after promotion, but only one that is currently considered a guaranteed starter.
Junior Firpo’s confirmed exit leaves the club under pressure to find the ideal left-back replacement, but their solution appears imminent.
Leeds United close in on Gabriel Gudmundsson transfer – player due to fly over
Lille left-back Gabriel Gudmundsson is the man Leeds zeroed in on to replace their departing starter in the back four.
Having enjoyed another solid campaign in France, impressing both in Ligue 1 and the Champions League, Leeds are now pressing on to land their fourth signing of the summer.
That’s according to Graham Smyth, who shared on Saturday evening that Leeds are close to fully agreeing a deal, as the Sweden international could fly over to the UK imminently to finalise a transfer.
Gudmundsson had reported for Lille pre-season this week as their preparations commence for the 25/26 campaign, but Leeds interest may bring his time at Lille to an end in the coming days.
