Leeds United are reportedly set to sign Oliver Sarkic on loan from Benfica.
It has been reported that the 20-year-old forward will be part of Leeds’s Under-23 team for the first half of the season.
According to the report, the Championship club secured the clearance of the move before the summer transfer window closed.
The Yorkshire Evening Post has also claimed that Leeds will confirm the signing of Sarkic before the end of this week.
Sarkic is a very talented and promising young player, and Leeds are wise to sign him on loan until December.
The Montenegro Under-21 international is too inexperienced to play for the Whites’ first team at the moment, but he certainly has potential and talent to make the step up, and perhaps he could even earn an extension to his loan deal.
Leeds were quite busy in the summer transfer window, signing a number of players including attacker Samuel Saiz, striker Pierre-Michel Lasogga (on loan), defender Matthew Pennington (on loan) and goalkeeper Felix Wiedwald.
