The Leeds United transfer news juggernaut just keeps on rolling with the club confirming two new signings on Monday evening.
Jack Harrison will remain at Elland Road on a season-long loan from Manchester City for the third year in a row, having played for Leeds in 2018/19 and 2019/20.
However, it is the deal for 18-year-old Joe Gelhardt that has raised eyebrows ahead of Leeds’ return to the Premier League. He won't change any 888 sport prediction odds regarding relegation though...
✍️ #LUFC are delighted to announce the signing of Joe Gelhardt from Wigan Athletic on a four-year deal

The former Wigan Athletic striker has joined the club on a four-year deal and his acquisition is another sign that Leeds are planning for a long and successful future.
Gelhardt made 18 appearances in the Championship last season, notching one goal but he is still learning his trade and could thrive at Elland Road.
Leeds United boss Marcelo Bielsa knows how to get the most out of Harrison and we could see Gelhardt take his game to the next level under the Argentine’s leadership.
Leeds United Transfers News: Could Edouard Join Leeds This Summer?
According to reports, Leeds have shown interest in signing talented Celtic striker Odsonne Edouard ahead of the 2020/21 Premier League campaign.
One of the biggest Leeds United player rumours so far this summer, Edouard has hit the ground running in the early stages of the Scottish Premiership campaign and he could be an invaluable asset for Leeds on their return to the top flight.
Patrick Bamford scored just 16 goals in 47 games last season while Eddie Nketjah and Jean-Kevin Augustin scored a combined five goals. If Leeds want to boost their Premier League betting relegation odds, a signing of Edouard's calibre is a must.
With comparisons to Leeds United legend Mark Viduka, Edouard could be a huge hit at Elland Road and his goal scoring record speaks for itself.
According to The Sunday Mirror, Leeds will have to meet Celtic’s £20 million valuation in order to tempt the Scottish Premiership champions to sell.
The Frenchman notched an impressive 27 goals in 45 appearances for Celtic last season, while also recording an incredible 19 assists as well.
With Edouard directly involved in an average of over a goal a game, he ticks all the right boxes to succeed in the Premier League and fans will be hoping that this is an accurate Leeds United transfer rumour.
Cody Drameh Linked With Shock Leeds Move
Last but not least, Leeds United transfer news sources have also linked Cody Drameh with a move to the Championship winners.
Entering the final year of his contract, Drameh has expressed a desire to move but Fulham are keen to negotiate a new deal to keep the youngster at Craven Cottage.
Follow the latest Leeds United transfers news in the coming days for more updates on the Drameh situation, as well as other Leeds United player rumours.
