Leeds United co-owner responds to £19m transfer announcement as ‘deal sealed’
Leeds United minority owner Larry Nance Jr has reposted a report claiming Jaka Bijol has signed his contract with the Whites.
Bijol completed a medical on Wednesday after agreeing to a move last week, and Leeds have always remained hopeful of completing the signing despite reputed interest from Newcastle United. The expectation is that an announcement will follow over the coming days once the move becomes official
That confirmation would make Bijol the club’s second signing after the unveiling of Lukas Nmecha last weekend. But before then, Nance acknowledged the latest reporting around Leeds signing the central defender.
Nance reposted that update alongside white, blue and yellow heart emojis. It is the second time he has done so with a post from the journalist this week.
In response to Romano claiming on Wednesday that a club-to-club deal was done, Nance posted the emoji with stars for eyes alongside the hashtag ‘LUFC’. As reported, those claims were labelled inaccurate at the time despite an agreement seeming imminent.
