Leeds United are on the verge of completing a late Deadline Day move for Eintracht Frankfurt winger Jean-Matteo Bahoya.
Manager Daniel Farke has prioritized adding firepower to his attacking options throughout the summer transfer window. With the 11 PM deadline fast approaching, the club has finalized terms to make the 21-year-old their sixth signing of the window.
According to transfer insider Fabrizio Romano, Leeds agreed to an initial loan package that includes a mandatory buy option set at €30 million (around £26 million). The French attacker has already given his approval for the move, and Eintracht Frankfurt has authorized him to undergo a medical ahead of signing his contract.
