Leeds United are on the verge of securing the signature of Bournemouth midfielder Joe Rothwell, with the player scheduled to undergo a medical on Thursday night per reports from BBC Radio Solent Sport.
Rothwell, who had a successful loan spell at Southampton last season, is set to join Leeds on a season-long loan deal. The move is seen as a crucial addition to Leeds’ squad, especially with the departures of Archie Gray and Marc Roca.
The versatile midfielder, who has both Championship and Premier League experience, is expected to provide vital depth to Leeds’ central midfield positions. His presence in the squad will not only enhance the team’s chances of securing automatic promotion but also ease their transition back to the Premier League in the future.
With Rothwell’s promotion-winning experience and mentoring qualities, he is anticipated to be a valuable asset for Leeds both on and off the pitch. For the 29-year-old, the chance to play regular football and be closer to his hometown will undoubtedly be an attractive proposition as he embarks on this new chapter in his career.
