Leeds United have recruited a new player to the squad in the form of Japanese midfielder Yosuke Ideguchi.
The 21-year-old has not yet finalised the switch from Gamba Osaka, but is expected to sign on the dotted line next week.
The midfielder will undergo a medical before completing the deal, but the club have confirmed that he will likely be sent on loan until the end of the season.
Ideguchi is expected to join Cultural Leonesa on a temporary deal due to the face that the J1 League only finished in December.
The young midfielder is not well-known on a broad scale, but he already has 10 international caps for Japan to his name.
Leeds fans gave their reaction to the news on Twitter.
As it stands, Thomas Christiansen’s side are sixth in the Championship table following a run of five wins in their last six matches.
Next up for the Whites in the league is a trip to face Ipswich Town on January 13, but before that, the team will take on Newport County in the FA Cup this weekend.
