Leeds News & Deadline Day Reaction: Bahoya Done Deal, Bard First Words

Leeds moved quickly after other winger targets fell through, with the 21-year-old France youth international set to arrive on loan with a buy obligation.

  • On Tuesday's transfer deadline, Leeds United finalized the signing of Eintracht Frankfurt winger Jean-Matteo Bahoya, securing the 21-year-old French youth international on an initial loan with a mandatory purchase obligation.
  • Before choosing Leeds, Bahoya turned down a move to Hull City, bringing his Bundesliga record for the fastest sprint speed of 23.09mph to Elland Road.
  • Additionally, the club secured defender Melvin Bard on a season-long loan from Nice, with the 25-year-old providing defensive cover after his 193 appearances in France.
  • Following Bahoya's arrival, Wilfried Gnonto completed his move to Fiorentina, a transfer that had been awaiting confirmation since the 22-year-old winger traveled to Italy on Monday.
  • After submitting a deal sheet shortly after midnight to finalize the transfer, Leeds concluded their deadline day activities with a total of seven summer signings.
