Leeds 'uncertainty' hits on deadline day as new signing 'successfully hijacked

Leeds United have had a difficult few days in the transfer window.

The Whites are closing on a deal for Nice left-back Melvin Bard, who is set to travel to Elland Road.

However, Daniel Farke's attempts to sign a new forward have so far led to nothing materialising.

Largie Ramazani has completed a move to Burnley, and Wilfried Gnonto is in Florence, awaiting the go-ahead to sign for Fiorentina.

That could leave them short, especially after the latest update on a potential signing.

What is the latest uncertainty around Leeds' business?

Leeds had been in the race to sign Mykhailo Mudryk on loan from Chelsea.

The Ukrainian winger was supposedly keen on a move to the Thorp Arch side to re-invent his career.

However, a report from BBC Sport on Tuesday claimed that deal has been "successfully hijacked" by Tottenham.

It states that there is now uncertainty over Farke's attacking options, as the Gnonto move was contingent on the Peacocks securing a replacement.

Leeds have until 11:00 pm to sign a forward, before the transfer deadline strikes.

Will Leeds do more business before the window closes?

The Whites are set to sign Bard, but the winger situation will still cause concern for Farke and the supporters in LS11.

It seems like they are running out of time to secure a new attacking addition.

The most likely solution at this point could be not allowing Gnonto to leave and keeping him as a back-up option.

They had been linked with Igor Paixao, but he is going to stay with Marseille, and no other wingers have been seriously linked in the past couple of days.

Overall, they should be satisfied with their business, as they have bolstered the goalkeeping ranks, with James Trafford and Michael Zetterer.

Harry Wilson came in to help out in attack, and Tarik Muharemovic and Nico Elvedi have strengthened the backline.

Not securing an extra winger should not define what Farke and his side can achieve this season.
