Player ‘on his way’ to Leeds United – He’s keen on transfer, can be ‘completed quickly’

With less than a week left of the transfer window, it feels like many clubs still have much business to do.

Leeds United will be looking at incomings to help their chance of returning to the Premier League at the first time of asking. That success would then impact their summer window both financially and in that multiple players on loan could return to Elland Road after jumping the Championship ship.

One of the incomers in the coming days, indeed perhaps the likeliest, is Daiki Hashioka. Het Nieuwsblad report the 24-year-old right-back is ‘on his way’ to Leeds United from current club STVV.

Genk, in Belgium’s top division, had been keen on signing him, and there’d also been interest from Premier league club Luton Town, but the Japanese fullback has decided he quite fancies experiencing Leeds United and Yorkshire.

Negotiations are said to be ‘well advanced’, and there’s expectation the transfer can be ‘completed quickly’.

Elsewhere in Belgium, Sacha Tavolieri reports Hashioka will get a Leeds United contract until June 2028, and it’s insisted he wants the move.
