Leeds United appear to be on the verge of signing Pablo Hernandez on a permanent deal after a successful loan spell.

A report in the Yorkshire Evening Post has suggested that Leeds United are on the verge of completing the permanent signing of Pablo Hernandez, and has shed light on some of the terms involved in the deal.

The 31-year-old signed on loan for Garry Monk’s men in the summer. And after a string of excellent displays over the last few months, it is hardly surprising that the Whites are so keen to keep the Spaniard.

The Yorkshire Evening Post reports that the former Swansea City man will initially sign a deal until the end of the season, with an option for a further 12 months.

With several of his key men currently with the club on a temporary basis, Monk will be delighted that Hernandez appears to be on the verge of signing on permanently.

The attacking midfielder has three goals and three assists to his name in the Championship this term, and is arguably a player who could be crucial as they look to capitalise on their current position in the play-off places as he has the ability to make something special happen out of nothing.

And news of the permanent deal may also send an incredibly positive message out to the other loanees at the club, as well as the Whites’ January targets, regarding the direction the side are moving in.
