Departures, big-money targets and Premier League loan chase

Leeds United are set for their first summer exit as Hull City move to make Joe Gelhardt’s stay permanent, while the Whites also eye a Morocco left-back to bolster their defence. At the same time, Leeds are preparing a major bid for Derby County’s £20m-rated forward Patrick Agyemang, with Derby bracing for ‘big’ offers. The club is also in the mix with Newcastle and Aston Villa for a loan deal for a Manchester City player, highlighting an aggressive recruitment drive. Together, these moves signal a significant reshaping of Leeds’ squad ahead of the new season.
