Attacker set for medical ahead of Leeds United January transfer window switch — YEP 12/1/25
By Lee Sobot
An attacker is set for a medical in a Leeds January transfer
window switch.
Leeds United forward Joe Gelhardt is set for a medical at a
fellow Championship outfit and expected to complete a loan move next week.
Gelhardt has found game-time hard to come by of late, the
attacker only making one of his club’s last 14 Championship game matchday
squads.
After a 13-game absence, the 22-year-old made the bench for
last weekend’s league clash at Hull whom the striker is now set to join on loan
for the rest of the season.
The YEP understands that Gelhardt’s medical with the Tigers
will take place on Monday and that the move is expected to be completed by
Tuesday or Wednesday of next week.
Gelhardt signed a new five-year-deal in August 2022 and is
contracted with the Whites until the summer of 2027. The YEP understands the
move to the Tigers will be a straight loan switch with a view to returning in
the summer.
Gelhardt was not involved in Saturday’s FA Cup third round
hosting of Harrogate Town in which a Largie Ramazani header gave Daniel Farke’s
Whites a 1-0 success.
