Leeds United are ready to complete the late January transfer window signing of Diogo Monterio with the player set to join the club on 30 January, according to 4-4-2.

Tribune de Genève reported on 26 January that Leeds United and Monteiro’s current Swiss club Servette have clarified all transfer modalities and contracts, including a sell-on clause.

The 17-year-old will be the latest European gem to join the Elland Road ranks and has already played three games in the Swiss top-flight this season.

“Indeed, Portuguese-Swiss Servette youngster Diogo Monteiro is already making the leap abroad and will join Leeds United early next week,” as quoted by 4-4-2. (27 January)

“According to the “Tribune de Genève“, the clubs have clarified all transfer modalities. The 17-year-old is another young talent to snag Premier League side, Leeds. Diogo Monteiro should then initially be introduced to the professional team in the youth teams.”

Big prospect.

Victor Orta seems to be at it again with his scouting prowess and the young centre-back could prove to be an extremely savvy signing for the Whites.

Monteiro, who turns 18 in the final days of January, is currently playing in Switzerland with top-flight side Servette and is viewed as a huge prospect in the country.

He’s been capped by Portugal at youth level and is a ball-playing defender, a trait that is priceless in the English Premier League.

The Whites have gone big in the transfer market this month, already spending around £40m on Max Wober and Georginio Rutter alongside another potential move for Weston McKennie.

Monteiro will be the club’s third or fourth signing of the window depending on when a deal for the American Juve maestro McKennie gets completed.

Fans can only be happy with the business the club has done this month and hopefully, the new signings can play a pivotal part in the progression of Leeds United.
