Fans are eagerly awaiting the next transfer move Leeds United will make. The Whites’ business seems to have slowed down after landing the deal for James Trafford.
Just three signings have been made since the start of the window.
Currently, the club seems to be working on the arrival of Nico Elvedi. The news broke on Thursday that Leeds had agreed personal terms, with a fee yet to be agreed with Gladbach.
Elvedi’s transfer will happen as the club seek a replacement for Sebastiaan Bornauw.
Bornauw is said to be on his way to HSV, who have been in contact with Leeds this past week. The defender can now leave Elland Road without Daniel Farke’s side lacking numbers in the backline.
Transfer switch could be completed as Leeds United star ready for medical
Other deals await completion as the higher ups at Elland Road push to complete transfers before the deadline.
Joe Gelhardt will leave Leeds United soon, after Hull City reached an agreement to sign the forward. The deal will be around the £6.5 million mark, and the player will officially be unveiled in the next 48 hours.
Another Leeds exit awaiting completion is Lucas Perri.
The Brazilian has had one foot out of the door since the club were pursuing James Trafford. And now that the England stopper has arrived, the 28-year old is free to leave.
Torino looked to be his next destination, but there has been a major development in the last few days.
Marseille entered the race, with their urgent need for a first team goalkeeper. The French side have presented an offer to Perri and are awaiting a decision.
Good news has emerged for Torino, as Italian outlet Toro Goal (via Cuore Toro) has confirmed that the Leeds United keeper has fully recovered from the injury to his finger and can now undergo a medical.
Perri is now available to undergo the tests to finalize his transfer move.

Where will Lucas Perri choose?
With Lucas Perri now fully fit, the choice of his next destination relies solely on him.
Torino have yet to reach a full agreement over a transfer, but the Italian club were hoping to sort the final details when the keeper arrived for medicals. Marseille are yet to launch an official offer.
However, the French side have reached Perri’s camp over a move.
The 28-year old will now have to decide whether to keep his word to Torino (who he agreed to join first), or make the decision to join Marseille.
The Ligue 1 side can offer European football, which might give them the edge. But nothing has been confirmed as this saga drags on.
