Report: Leeds United transfer target close to sealing deal with English second division club

Leeds United fans in the Transfer Tavern will want to see a number of additions this summer on the back of a poor season.

The Whites finished in the bottom half of the Championship table despite having been leading the division from the beginning, and Paul Heckingbottom will want to make his first mark on the side he inherited.

According to reports in Germany, Bild are claiming that Kristian Pedersen is believed to be leaving the club this summer to join a team in England’s second division, with Leeds having been credited with an interest last month.

The 23-year-old has just one year left on his current deal and has already been replaced at current club Union Berlin.

Landlord’s Verdict

The Leeds fans in the Tavern will be hoping that they can get the Denmark Under-23 player to join them, although it could be bad news for some of the players already on the books at Elland Road.

The likes of Laurens De Bock, who only arrived in January from Club Brugge, has not impressed and with Tom Pearce making his name as a rising star, the Yorkshire outfit will have a number of options to choose from if Pedersen does indeed arrive.
