According to writer Pete O’Rourke, Leeds United midfielder Lewis Bate has agreed to sign on loan with League Two club MK Dons
Bate, a Leeds United kid, has previously been involved with the first squad at Elland Road. The former Chelsea prodigy has made five senior appearances for the Whites, although only one has been this season.
Last season, the 21-year-old impressed on loan at League One club Oxford United and was named to the bench for the opening three Championship games. However, he has not played since, with his last appearance coming from the bench against Shrewsbury Town in the EFL Cup.
There was chatter about a possible exit this month, and now, reporter Pete O’Rourke has revealed on X that a loan move to MK Dons has been arranged.
The transfer will allow the London-born superstar to play regularly away from Leeds United. He has just returned to the U21s setup, appearing five times in the Premier League 2.

Best for Bate?
The promising Leeds United midfielder has faced numerous challenges in the first half of the season. He made a terrific impression at Oxford United last season, contributing a goal and an assist in 35 games and showing himself in League One.
It would have been ideal for him to play more minutes in the first half of the season. However, as time has passed, Bate has struggled to find opportunities.
Mike Williamson‘s team plays good football, so Bate should develop well at Stadium MK, and the League Two side will be getting a talented player who has demonstrated that he is capable of excelling at the level above.
