Plettenburg reporting Nico Elvedi and Leeds United have reached a full agreement over a contract until 2029.

Elvedi very open to move to the Premier League before Deadline Day. Leeds are preparing an offer and are expected to submit it soon. #LUFC.

Wonder what fee. He is very experienced, but also turns 30 next month.

Some of the click bait on the sites is a pain, and has no chance of happening, because we either don't want/need the player or he's out of our price range - Paixo, Leao, etc.
However, I agree with Alf that, as Bournauw is likely to be going, the most obvious replacement is Elvedi.

This one has been rumbling on since the start of the window. He's been quite open that he wants to come to the PL, and this is his chance.

Elvedi has one year left on his contract, and Borussia are looking for about £8m. However, it seems that he has agreed terms with Leeds and wants to come, so if they don't sell him, they get nothing. I would hope that figure could be bargained down.


The Perri saga continues, but the Italian press is full of stories that he wants to consider his options a bit longer. He must be seriously considering moving back to France with OM.

About 7-9m, I would think.

Only downside is that he's another right footer. It would've been nice to find someone who could cover for Gabby on the left as well as in the centre.

He's a right footer that actually plays as left CB as often as not, I believe.

@JR16,

Left-footed CB cannot cover for GG, as he is a LWB in our system, and that is a specialist position a CB is not suited to.

Absolutely vital we find another quality LWB, as otherwise we get no penetration down the left side, as Okafor cannot cross for s***.
