His arrival marks the club’s third signing of the window, highlighting their intent to strengthen the squad with young, high-potential players.
Fans gathered around the stadium were quick to welcome Fernandes, who acknowledged them with smiles and waves before heading into contract discussions. The official announcement from the club is expected within the next 24 hours, pending final medical checks.
With this signing, Leeds United continue to show ambition and strategic planning in the transfer market — a move that could prove crucial in their campaign for top-flight football.
