Leeds United defender reportedly agrees deal to join Championship rivals — YEP 24/8/24
By Lee Sobot
A Leeds United stalwart looks set to sign for a Championship
rival.
Former Whites captain Liam Cooper has reportedly agreed a
deal to sign for one of Leeds United’s Championship rivals.
The promotion-winning Leeds skipper has become a free agent
this summer upon his Leeds contract expiring and boss Daniel Farke confirmed in
pre-season that the centre-back was not part of the group he was working with.
Cooper has been linked with moves to several other
Championship sides and has now reportedly agreed a deal to re-join former club
Hull City in the final week of the summer transfer window.
According to BBC Humberside, Cooper - whose departure has
not yet been announced by Leeds - was seen sitting in Tigers owner Acun
Ilicali’s private box for Saturday afternoon’s Championship clash against
Millwall.
