Report: Leeds ‘move closer’ in pursuit to sign 17-year-old prospect who’s already had senior minutes
Leed෴s United are reportedly edging closer in their pursuit to try sign Celtic p🦩rospect Leo Hjelde.
According to the , Leeds are finally making progress in a bid to bring the 17-ye🌃ar-old talent to Elland Road.
It is understood that negotiations between the Whites and Celtic have now progressed after a𝔍 recent stalemate, so they have been able to “move closer” to a transfer.
The report explains that the teenager would join up with Mark Jackson’s Under 23s side 𓆉at Leeds because they need a replacement in defence for Oliver Ca🌱sey .
H🍸jelde, who’s currently with Celtic’s B team, is an upcoming star. However, the centre-back has played senior minutes alr꧂eady in his short career.
The Norwegian centre-half played 12 first-team games during a loan spell in the second half of last season for Scottish Pr✤emiershi𓃲p club Ross County.

Hjelde is a reminder that Leeds are stacked with quality centre-backs
For young Leeds centre-backs, they’ll know it’s a huge task to break into the senior squad given t✨he options. Marcelo Bielsa has a wealth of talent in the heart of his defence.
Diego Llorente, Liam Cooper, Pascal Struijk and Robin Koch are all centre-halves that will have firm belief they can be in the starting XI in the ne💯w season. A Llorente-Struijk combination was impressive last season, but it’s a new campaign.
