One of Leeds’ main aims of this transfer window was to enhance their youth sides ahead of next season as they look to ensure the future is as bright as the now for the Mighty Whites.
Today, United have made an important step in completing that goal with the signing of Chelsea midfielder Lewis Bate.
The 18-year-old midfielder completed his medical yesterday and has now signed for the club for a reported fee of £1.5 million.
He’s the third high-profile youngster Leeds have brought in this summer and promises to be a star of the future along with the likes of Sean McGurk and Amari Miller.
The England Under 18s international has signed a three-year deal keeping him at the club until 2024 and will begin life at Leeds with Mark Johnson’s Under 23s ahead of the new season.
