Leeds have been following 27-year-old Rangers midfielder Glen Kamara throughout the summer window and the Whites have now agreed a deal with Rangers to sign the Finland international midfielder according to journalist Fabrizio Romano.
According to The Athletic, Leeds and Rangers have agreed a fee of around £5m and the midfielder is now travelling to Leeds for medical tests as the Whites close in on two new midfield signings.
The club have also agreed a deal with Werder Bremen to sign Bulgaria international midfielder Ilia Gruev, again for around £5m according to The Athletic who report that the 23-year-old has already arrived from Germany for his medical.
Ilia Gruev signs for Leeds United, official announcement to come Thursday
Ilia Gruev has signed his Leeds United contract at Elland Road and the club are set to announce his arrival later on Thursday, according to LUFCFANZONE.
The Whites-focused online outlet, who Andrea Radrizzani confirmed had sources at the club last season, reported via Twitter Thursday afternoon (31 August) that the Bulgarian midfielder had just left the ground after completing the transfer and carrying out media duties.
His arrival from Werder Bremen is set to be made official later the same day as the club continue to bolster central midfield after Ethan Ampadu’s mid-summer arrival from Chelsea
He arrives a day after Djed Spence completed a loan move from Tottenham and a week after the big-money capture of Joel Piroe from Swansea City.
Business
Another central midfielder was a crucial addition before the window shuts because Daniel Farke can’t start Ampadu and Archie Gray every game for an entire season.
It looks like Glen Kamara should finally be coming in as well [Four Lads Had A Dream, 31 August] so the manager’s options will be boosted significantly by the final days before the deadline.
Amid various drama surrounding the other midfield pursuits from Germany in Nadiem Amiri and Ao Tanaka it looks like the Gruev deal has gone through pretty serenely.
