On Wednesday evening Sport Witness published an article about Leeds United wanting to keep control of transfer announcements.
Pierre-Michel Lasogga’s move to Leeds had been announced by Hamburg, with the club even wishing their high earner well at Elland Road, and the German club were then forced to backtrack.
That led to an assumption the Yorkshire club want multiple deadline day announcements, for the excitement aspect.
However, Swedish newspaper Aftonbladet may have ruined all that.
Leeds United may find denying this one is done more difficult than Lasogga. Aftonbladet publishes pictures. #LUFC #MOT pic.twitter.com/KF3QNOjWnr

Aftonbladet have released a series of images which show Cibicki signing his Leeds United contract, accompanied by others including Victor Orta, and posing with the club’s shirt at Elland Road.
There can really be no backtracking from that. Cibicki to Leeds United is done, it’s out of the bag and it’s not going back in.
