Leeds United are set to complete the signing of Jean-Matteo Bahoya after the Frankfurt attacking midfielder opted to move to Elland Road on transfer deadline day.
Bahoya had also been the subject of interest from Hull City, but the France under-21 international is understood to have rejected their approach in favour of joining Leeds. The decision represents a significant late-window boost for Leeds, who have moved to secure a player regarded as one of the more highly rated young attacking midfielders available in the final hours of the market.
According to the latest reports, Bahoya has already passed a medical, leaving Leeds well placed to finalise the remaining formalities before the deadline. The development puts the club in a strong position to announce the deal, provided the necessary paperwork is completed in time.
For Leeds, the anticipated arrival would add another creative option to their squad and underline their ambition to strengthen before the window closes. Bahoya’s profile as a France under-21 international makes the move a notable coup, particularly given rival interest from Hull.
Hull had been hoping to win the race for the midfielder, but Bahoya’s preference has now become clear. Leeds’ push appears to have convinced the player, and his decision to choose them could prove one of the more eye-catching domestic deadline-day moves.
While final confirmation is still awaited, all indications suggest Leeds are closing in on the deal. With the medical reportedly completed and the player having made his choice, the focus is now on completing the transfer process before the deadline passes.
