Leeds United are reportedly closing in on two more signings.
According to the Yorkshire Evening Post, Leeds United are set to tie up the signature of Manchester City winger Jack Harrison, with a season-long loan deal imminent.
The Whites have tied up three signings this summer in Chelsea duo Jamal Blackman and Lewis Baker, as well as Wolverhampton Wanderers left back Barry Douglas.
Leeds are busy preparing for their opening game against Stoke City, and two more players appear to be heading to Elland Road ahead of that encounter this weekend.
The Yorkshire Evening Post report that Manchester City winger Jack Harrison is set to arrive on loan, whilst Middlesbrough hitman Patrick Bamford will undergo a medical ahead of a £7million move.
Those signings should boost Leeds and Marcelo Bielsa, and there is a major benefit to the personnel being targeted by Bielsa and Victor Orta ahead of the new season.
Leeds are doing their business late, which would usually bring a fear of too many new faces not knowing how to play with each other at their new club, but that isn’t the case here.
Baker, Bamford and Harrison all played for Middlesbrough together last season and trained with each other every day, and that existing cohesion should aid Leeds early on as they attempt to bed their new signings in.
Not only are the trio set to reunite at Elland Road having ended last season together at Boro, but Baker and Bamford also know each other and Blackman from Chelsea, and this approach of signing players who know each other well may just be coincidence, but it seems to be a smart plan from Bielsa and Orta so late in the window.
