Leeds United close in on fourth summer signing as deal agreed
Leeds United have agreed an £8.5m deal with Borussia Monchengladbach for Switzerland defender Nico Elvedi.
The 29-year-old centre-back is scheduled to fly in for a medical on Monday as Leeds close in on their fourth summer signing following the arrivals of Harry Wilson, Tarik Muharemovic and James Trafford.
Pending his medical, Elvedi’s arrival will see Leeds defender Sebastiaan Bornauw head to Hamburg on loan with a view to a permanent move.
Elvedi would be reunited with Leeds boss Daniel Farke, who spent the 2022-23 season in charge of the Bundesliga side.
Capped by Switzerland on 73 occasions, Elvedi has spent the last 11 seasons at Gladbach, making more than 360 appearances in all competitions.
He started in all six of Switzerland’s World Cup matches as they reached the quarter-finals, losing 3-1 to Argentina after extra time.
