Leeds United have moved quickly to strengthen their defensive options, reaching a full agreement with Leicester City for versatile full-back James Justin. The 27-year-old England international, who can operate on either flank, is expected to undergo his medical in Yorkshire today before completing the formalities of his move to Elland Road.
Daniel Farke has been keen to add depth and flexibility to his squad as Leeds continue their push for success in the Championship and prepare for life back in the Premier League. Justin, known for his pace, defensive intelligence, and ability to contribute in attack, is seen as an ideal signing who can provide balance and competition across the backline.
Leicester, who reluctantly sanctioned the sale, are said to have agreed on a fee believed to be in the region of £20–25 million. For Leeds, backed by 49ers Enterprises, the move represents another strong statement of intent in the transfer market.
Should Justin pass his medical as expected, he will become one of the club’s headline summer signings and could be unveiled to fans before the end of the week. Leeds supporters will be eager to see him in action immediately, with the season already un
derway.
