Leeds United currently have five players on loan moves.
According to the Yorkshire Evening Post, Pablo Hernandez should sign for Leeds United on a permanent deal in the January transfer window.
Hernandez is currently on loan at Elland Road until the new year, but Leeds are in control of his future.
The Whites reportedly always intended to make Hernandez’s deal a permanent one from the moment that they brought him to the club, and that remains the aim.
Hernandez has made a bright start at Leeds, and become an important part of Garry Monk’s starting line-up.
The YEP also state that Pontus Jansson may well become a contracted Leeds player in January, with negotiations already under way for the Swedish defender.
Leeds other three loanees’ futures, meanwhile, remain up in the air.
Leeds could make moves for Hadi Sacko and Kyle Bartley, but they are yet to make a final decision.
Monk apparently intends to give Sacko a whole season to impress before considering making a move, while Swansea City would reportedly want a fee to allow Bartley to leave – despite the defender’s contract due to run into its last year at the end of the campaign.
Matt Grimes is Leeds other loanee currently, but the young midfielder has barely featured so far.
