Leeds set to sign Jimmy Kebe from Crystal Palace

Sky 8/1/14
Leeds boss Brian McDermott has lined up a deal with Crystal Palace for Jimmy Kebe, Sky Sports understands.
It appears that Leeds have won the race to land 29-year-old Kebe as a host of Championship clubs were looking to seal a loan deal for Mali international.
Kebe only joined Palace last summer from Reading, but he has started just two Premier League games since making the move.
Now Kebe is set to link up with his former Reading boss McDermott after the pair worked together for a number of years at the Madejski Stadium.
The arrival of Kebe will not deter Leeds from their chase for Hull City winger Cameron Stewart, who they are also hoping to conclude a deal for before the weekend.

by Kwadwo Hemeng Leeds United have had some impressive results in pre-season so far. In three games, they have failed to lose and have racked up impressive scorelines. Thursday was no different. While the first team is preparing for the next friendly against Villarreal, the U21s side, with a host of first team stars, thrashed Norweigian side Lyn 1896 10-2 in a pre-season friendly this afternoon. There were some surprising names on the scoresheet – Patrick Bamford scored, Sam Greenwood netted a brace and Joe Gelhardt scored four goals in the game. This is the second friendly the trio have featured in; they played in the friendly against Hartlepool last weekend.

Farke then revealed this crucial information right after the club’s first game against Manchester United. According to the German coach, h...

by Kwadwo Hemeng Leeds United are playing in the Premier League next season. But with the transfer window coming up, there are still some questions about the squad that need to be answered. Starting striker Joel Piroe has been first choice over the last two seasons. And he has delivered, scoring over 35 goals. But in recent weeks, Leeds’ rumoured moves show that there may be doubt over his ability heading into the Premier League. Over the last month, the club have been linked with George Hirst, and more recently Celtic star Daizen Maeda. Wrexham are also said to be very interested in signing Patrick Bamford this summer, so Leeds will definitely sign a new striker. TEAMtalk are reporting that Leeds United have drawn up a shortlist of strikers for the summer. It includes two current Premier League players, and a former Tottenham star. But surprisingly, the trio have just 19 career goals in the competition. Whichever of them the club decides to sign will have a big say in survivin...

By Mark Carruthers The latest transfer talk from Elland Road as Leeds United prepare to return to the Premier League with a home game against Everton on Monday night. Leeds United are reportedly ‘advancing’ with a deal to secure another defensive addition to their squad ahead of the new Premier League season.
