Leeds United are set to sign Laurens de Bock on a four-year deal.
Leeds are set to sign De Bock from Club Brugge on a four-year deal, and he was expected to go straight into Thomas Christiansen’s starting line-up.
However, reports in Spain suggest that Leeds may have a different plan from what was expected.
Leo Noticias claim that Leeds will loan out De Bock to Cultural Leonesa until the end of the season.
Leeds have already lent Leonesa Yosuke Ideguchi and have a good relationship with the Spanish club.
Whether the Whites’ apparent plans to loan out De Bock will now change as a result of Luke Ayling’s injury remains to be seen.
The most obvious solution to replacing Ayling appears to be for Christiansen to bring Gaetano Berardi to right-back and slot de Bock in at left-back for Leeds.
