Leeds United have decided to raid the free agency market to bolster their promotion push.
Daniel Farke’s side have suffered the blow of losing midfield stars Ilia Gruev and Ethan Ampadu to injury and neither will be back until 2025.
Leeds have been forced to look for replacements and now they have moved for Senegal international Cheikou Kouyate.
Cheikou Kouyate agrees deal to join Leeds
TBR Football can reveal that Leeds have agreed terms with Kouyate and he is set to put pen-to-paper over the weekend.
Sources have confirmed to TBR Football that Kouyate underwent a medial in West Yorkshire on Friday and he will finalise his move on Saturday.
