Leeds United have finally finished their transfer window with some superb business after securing the signing of Manor Solomon on loan from Tottenham Hotspur, and they will be hoping that they have set themselves up for a strong campaign in the Championship after losing to Southamptonin last year’s play-off final – and they are already looking ahead to the future despite not being able to complete deals now, with Nigerian ‘wonderkid’ Leonard Ngenge in their sights, according to reports.
The Whites failed at the final hurdle last season after blowing a chance at automatic promotion, and with some of their key players departing, there was always a chance that could happen again. Some have retained their place at Elland Road, and as a result, there is growing optimism that promotion can be confirmed. But regardless of division, Leeds are looking to strengthen for the future and Ngenge is one they have looked at to come in.
The report by Alan Nixon states that Leeds are ‘setting up’ a deal to sign young Nigerian star Ngenge, though they will have to wait a couple of years until he comes through the door at Thorp Arch to be able to train with the first team or youth academy.
