Joe Gelhardt looks set to move across Yorkshire to Hull City

Hull City are confident of finalising a deal to sign Leeds United forward Joe Gelhardt in the next 24 hours, providing the young forward completes a medical this afternoon. The 22-year-old is set to sign with the East Yorkshire club on loan until the end of the season after informing Leeds of his preference to stay in Yorkshire amid a number pf prospective clubs seeking the forward's signature.

The Whites sanctioned Gelhardt's departure last week after having previously informed the young player at the start of the year that he would likely be allowed out on loan to get some game time, after playing just nine minutes of the Championship campaign so far for Daniel Farke.

While Patrick Bamford's injury which will rule him out until potentially February could be seen as a reason for holding up or even ending the Gelhardt deal, Leeds remain happy to let the player leave in a deal they know is best for all parties at this stage of his career.

Despite some media suggestions a medical took place yesterday, Gelhardt will travel to London today where Hull City have previously held some of their medicals, and will undergo a medical after the terms of the deal were finalised at the weekend.

While it remains a very slim possibility the deal could be announced today, it is now expected to be confirmed on Tuesday, or Wednesday at the latest with Tigers boss Ruben Selles keen to get to work with the player and potentially hand him a role in his team for this Saturday's early kick-off at Millwall.

Hull travel to London on Friday afternoon after their final training session, but Selles is eager to work with Gelhardt for as many training sessions as possible before a key game for the Tigers, who are in a relegation fight and were yesterday dumped out of the FA Cup at home to League Two Doncaster Rovers.

The huge initial fee Leeds are set to receive for Crysencio Summerville’s move to West Ham — Leeds United News 31/7/24

-
Will Butcher West Ham United are closing in on a deal to sign Crysencio Summerville from Leeds United, and Ben Jacobs has shared how much Leeds will receive for the Dutchman. The 22-year-old has been strongly linked with the Elland Road exit door all summer and was targeted as the one big sale Leeds needed to make before the Profit & Sustainability Rules deadline this month. But instead, Leeds sold Archie Gray for £40m to Tottenham. Leeds have since sold five more players in the form of Diego Llorente, Marc Roca, Kris Klaesson and Charlie Cresswell – raking in around £60m in total. But more exits were always likely and Fabrizio Romano reported on Wednesday afternoon that West Ham had agreed personal terms with Summerville, and talks for a fee were ongoing with the Yorkshire side. Now, the story has moved on with multiple sources claiming a deal is done between Leeds and Angus Kinnear’s old club. The Dutchman is expected to sign a five-year at the London Stadium, until Jun...

Leeds United board break silence after transfer window with statement on upcoming Elland Road development — YEP 2/9/24

By Joe Donnohue Leeds United have confirmed supporters' commemorative stones at Elland Road's Centenary Square will be replaced free of charge in a bid to improve their longevity. Beginning next month, Leeds supporters' personalised stones will be replaced with exact replicas, courtesy of a new company, to ensure of a 'much better quality' installation. The work is expected to take around two months to complete. An official club statement confirmed 'three larger stones dedicated to former managers Don Revie, Howard Wilkinson and Marcelo Bielsa' will also be installed, 'similar to those located in Bremner Square', while additional space for supporters to purchase new stones has also been factored into the project. “The club have taken on board recent feedback from supporters on the stones at Centenary Square, and we are really happy that we can now announce that all of the stones will be replaced," chief executive Angus Kinnear confirmed,...

Leeds United transfer state of play as Whites knock back low bid and assert wing pair stance — YEP 3/7/24

-
By Graham Smyth Leeds United are not actively looking to cash in on Crysencio Summerville and Willy Gnonto and believe any further outgoing transfer business will be done on their terms. The Whites, who sold Archie Gray to Tottenham Hotspur on Tuesday for £40m, expect that there will be continued interest in wing pair Summerville and Gnonto as the summer transfer window progresses. Summerville has been a target for Premier League side Brighton and Hove Albion but their interest has not yet materialised into a bid. The Albion did, however, send a £30m proposal for Georginio Rutter, which Elland Road chiefs rejected. Rutter is not expected to try and force an exit this summer and appears settled at Leeds after a far more positive second season in English football. The sale of Gray has helped put Leeds into a position where they do not need to sell star players and can dictate any moves that do happen. Club sources say they are not actively looking to sell the likes of Summerville o...
