According to the Daily Mirror’s live blog (30th August, 03:57), Leeds United and Sheffield Wednesday are looking to sign Danny Batth on loan before Friday’s 5 pm deadline.
Leeds boss Marcelo Bielsa is keen to bolster his squad, but the Argentine has shown little willingness to sign a defender.
Leeds have Gaetano Berardi, Liam Cooper and Pontus Jansson, as three first-choice centre-backs, while Luke Ayling has played in central defence as well this season.
Batth is an experienced defender and will be a solid backup option for the club. The 27-year-old has dropped down the pecking order at the club, and he is now the sixth choice for Nuno following the arrival of Leander Dendoncker.
