Leeds United are expected to miss out on left-back target Ryan Giles of Luton Town, who is reportedly close to joining Hull City.
The Whites are now racing against the clock to sign the individuals they need to strengthen their roster at left and right back.
Junior Firpo‘s recent form has alleviated some of the immediate concerns on the left, but counting on the former Barcelona player to stay healthy for the rest of the season is a recipe for disaster.
Leeds have been widely linked with a move to recruit Luton Town left-back Ryan Giles this month, as the Hatters defender has struggled for Premier League opportunities since leaving Wolves.
According to the Daily Mail, he is on his way to the championship, but he is also on the verge of joining Hull City.
Giles joined Luton for £5 million in the summer transfer window and will initially join the Tigers on loan, becoming Liam Rosenior’s second eye-catching addition after Fabio Carvalho from Liverpool.
The 23-year-old’s contract, which Luton has set at £4.25 million, requires him to purchase anything when he moves to Hull.
It implies that following an incredible loan stint under Michael Carrick at Middlesbrough, they will experience a small loss on the price they paid back in the summer to purchase him.
