Izzy Brown is likely to be Leeds United’s sixth and final signing of the window, the Daily Mirror reports on its live blog [30th August, 14:45].

The Chelsea forward was spotted at Leeds Bradford Airport on Thursday and is said to be edging towards a season-long loan to Elland Road.

But despite reports linking Leeds with moves for central midfielders and central defenders ahead of Friday’s loan deadline, the Daily Mirror suggests the Whites’ summer business could be concluded with Brown.

On the plus side, Leeds expect to have Adam Forshaw, the midfielder, back in contention after the international break, although many would argue greater cover is required for Gaetano Berardi, Liam Cooper and Pontus Jansson at the back.

Brown, who helped Huddersfield to promotion the season before last, suffered a serious injury while on loan to Brighton last season and is likely to take several weeks to get up to speed.

The 21-year-old, whose Chelsea teammates Lewis Baker and Jamal Blackman are also on loan at Leeds, previously impressed in spells at Vitesse Arnhem and Rotherham United.
