£5m defender is set to have a medical at Leeds this morning

Leeds United are about to make their third summer signing.

After landing Joe Rothwell and Joe Rodon, Leeds are seemingly about to sign Jayden Bogle from Sheffield United.

Indeed, according to John Percy from The Telegraph, Leeds have now agreed a deal to sign the Sheffield United defender for £5m this summer.

Leeds agree Jayden Bogle deal

According to Percy, a deal for Bogle has now been agreed and a medical has been pencilled in for Saturday morning.

Leeds needed a new right-back this summer, and they looked to have got their man.

Archie Gray and Connor Roberts were Leeds’ two right-back options towards the end of last season, but now, both players have gone.

Gray has left for Spurs, while Roberts has returned to Burnley after a short loan spell at Elland Road.

Bogle will be coming in to replace Gray and Roberts, and this has the makings of an exciting signing.

Jayden Bogle signing could be exciting

This could well end up being one of the best signings Leeds make this summer.

Yes, Sheffield United were poor in the Premier League last season, but Bogle was one of their better performers.

This has always been a player with bags of potential. In fact, AC Milan were once interested in signing the right-back, and now, he’s set to join Leeds.

Leeds are, of course, aiming to return to the Premier League at the second time of asking after losing the playoff final last year, and signing a player like Bogle will surely help the Whites achieve their goals.

Bogle isn’t just a player who will bring something to Leeds’ promotion push, he’s also capable of doing a job in the Premier League if Leeds should get there.

At just £5m, this could be a brilliant bit of business for Leeds as they look to once again push for promotion.
