Leeds are working on signing Pablo Hernandez permanently.
Pablo Hernandez’s loan deal at Leeds United has expired, the Yorkshire Evening Post report.
Hernandez signed in August on a six month loan deal from Qatari based side Al-Arabi.
The good news for Leeds fans is that talks are already underway over a permanent deal, which the Whites are hopeful of clinching.

The Yorkshire Evening Post report: “Pablo Hernandez reached the end of his loan from Qatari side Al-Arabi yesterday but Leeds are working to finalise a deal to sign him permanently.”
After a slow start to acclimatise to Championship football, Hernandez has established himself as a key player at Leeds, and despite time out injured, he has created more goalscoring chances than any other Leeds player.

He may be 31-years-old but he has a touch of class and is a potential difference maker between Leeds winning promotion and not.
Signing Hernandez is potentially just as important as clinching deals for loanees Kyle Bartley and Pontus Jansson, and his situation regarding his expired loan makes clinching his signature a bigger priority.
The fact Leeds have opened talks is encouraging and shows the club understand the urgency of the matter.
