Leeds United have confirmed the signing of Djed Spence on a season-long loan, with Glen Kamara to be unveiled soon.
Leeds United have confirmed the signing of Djed Spence on a season-long loan.
The marauding right-back has moved to Elland Road from parent club Tottenham Hotspur for a loan fee of £1 million.
Planet Sport understands that there isn't an option to buy included in the deal.
Spence will link up with Spurs teammate and Welsh international Joe Rodon with whom he spent part of the 2022/23 season on loan at Rennes.
His arrival provides some much-needed cover at the back given the mounting pressure on an ageing Luke Ayling.
Spence, 23, has made over 100 senior appearances, most of which have come in the Championship.
He'll be familiar to most Leeds fans for his starring role in Nottingham Forest's promotion campaign, scoring twice and providing four assists.
With business at the back all but wrapped up, 49ers Enterprises will now focus on to the deficiencies in midfield.
They've drawn a line under the bizarre Nadiem Amiri saga that's dominated the headlines this week but have still made progress elsewhere.
According to reports, Rangers midfield Glen Kamara has agreed personal terms and could be next through the door.
The Finland international is deemed surplus to requirements at Ibrox and will fit nicely with Daniel Farke's need for an energetic number eight in midfield.
Various reports also suggest that Rangers and Leeds have agreed upon a £5.5 million fee for his services, an amount 100 times bigger than what the Gers paid for him.
There's no news on when Kamara's medical will occur, but Fabrizio Romano expects a deal to be concluded this week.
