Bayern Munich midfielder close to £20m Leeds United switch

The 21-year-old Frenchman – who joined the German giants for £9 million from Borussia Monchengladbach in August 2019 – is down the pecking order at Bayern and is now poised to head to Yorkshire to provide another option in the middle of the park for head coach Marcelo Bielsa.

Reports last night suggested that Leeds have agreed a deal for Cuisance, with Bayern having inserted a buy-back clause into the agreement.

One player heading out of Elland Road is United defender Bryce Hosannah, who has completed a season-long loan move to West Yorkshire neighbours Bradford City.

The 21-year-old, a regular for United’s Under-23 side since arriving from Crystal Palace in 2017, featured in the club’s opening three Premier League 2 matches of the season.

Hosannah, who can feature at centre-back and full-back, will provide some invaluable versatility to the Bantams.

The right-sided defender defender is yet to feature for Leeds at senior level, but has been an unused substitute.

Hosannah is Bradford’s sixth signing during the current window and his arrival follows on from the addition of forward Gareth Evans from Portsmouth.

Manager Stuart McCall has also brought in Levi Sutton, Billy Clarke, Callum Cooke and Elliot Watt.

Hosannah’s departure follows on from the decision to allow young Northern Ireland international midfielder Alfie McCalmont to join Oldham Athletic on loan for the 2020-21 campaign.

He said: “I am really happy to be here and glad to have got the move over the line.

“This is a massive opportunity for me and, as soon as I heard of the interest, I told my agent to get the deal done.

McCall added: “There were a few clubs at this level and higher who were showing keen interest in him, so the fact he has chosen to sign for us is very encouraging.

“He certainly fits into the ‘young and hungry’ category and has a brilliant attitude – which will fit well into the group.”
