Jayden Bogle set for Leeds United medical as transfer agreed with Sheffield United

Jayden Bogle is set for a Leeds United medical imminently after a deal was agreed to bring him to Elland Road, John Percy reports.

According to the Telegraph journalist via X on 20 July the Blades defender is set to join the Whites in a £5million deal after an agreement was reached.

He will head for testing the straight away ahead of joining Daniel Farke's squad ready for the new Championship season.

The 23-year-old will become the second major signing in defence for the German after Joe Rodon's £10m return from Tottenham.

Daniel Farke set for key Leeds United addition at full-back

Leeds have been losing players faster than they can fill the gaps and the full-back spots have been looking particularly light this summer.

Bringing in Bogle who was a regular throughout Sheffield United's doomed Premier League campaign should represent a substantial boost assuming there are no issues at the medical.

Archie Gray's big-money move to Spurs robbed Farke of his regular starting right-back from last season while primary back-up Connor Roberts returned to Burnley at the end of his loan.

The Welshman is believed to be very interested in coming back to Elland Road if the Clarets have moved on from him [Adam Pope, 15 July] so whether signing Bogle rules that out remains to be seen.

Jamie Shackleton has also departed at the expiry of his contract and signed at Bramall Lane so the Whites were faced with heading into the season with only the injury-prone pair Sam Byram and Junior Firpo to cover both full-back positions.

There has been suggestion that Firpo could be sold himself [Daily Mail, 1 July] so it would be no shock if there were further signings made along the back line, pending confirmation of Max Wober's future.

But the club have routinely neglected to fully address these positions, particularly left-back, so how plentiful the manager's options end up being likely remains a moveable feast.

In other Leeds United news, the Whites are now set for "intense" transfer negotiations to sell yet another key man.
