Leeds United transfer news: Joe Gelhardt opts for Sunderland loan
Joe Gelhardt has joined Sunderland on loan until the rest of the season.
The 20-year-old has found game-time hard to come by at Leeds United.
He had the opportunity to rejoin former club Wigan Athletic on loan, but has opted for the Black Cats instead.
The relegation-threatened Latics are facing Championship relegation, whereas the Black Cats are a point outside the play-offs.
Leeds have added club record signing Georginio Rutter to top-scorer Rodrigo, whilst Patrick Bamford has recently rediscovered his form after returning from injury.
Gelhardt's only Premier League start this season came in September. His last senior goal was a late winner at home to Norwich City in mid-March.
He has made 14 league appearances from the bench this season.
