Daniel Farke, the manager of Leeds United, is getting closer to making his fifth acquisition of the summer.

Following a significant development concerning the Rangers star, target Glen Kamara for Leeds United is’ready’ to move to Elland Road, according to transfer insider Dean Jones.

Whites manager Daniel Farke has set his sights on improving his promotion-chasing squad with the July deadline only a few days away.

The Herald reports that Kamara has secured a £5 million transfer to Leeds and is getting ready to take on a new challenge.

According to the source, the Championship team and Rangers are nearing an agreement on personal terms after the Finland international, who has played 193 times while on the roster of the Glasgow giants, agreed to terms.

Leeds viewed Kamara as a target because he had a release clause in his Ibrox contract, making him a reachable goal.

Towards the end of last week, the Yorkshire giants finally sat down to talk, and it’s anticipated that the defensive midfielder will join Farke’s side before the transfer market closes.

Although they have faced competition from Middlesbrough, respected journalist Ben Jacobs recently revealed that Kamara would prefer to join Leeds than remain with Scottish Premiership championship contenders Rangers.

What has Dean Jones said about Kamara?

Jones is certain that Kamara will seamlessly integrate into the Leeds team if his transfer is approved before the deadline on September 1 as anticipated.

According to the respected writer, the 27-year-old is prepared to move to Elland Road, and, in contrast to certain rumors, there have been no issues while trying to negotiate a transfer fee with Rangers.

“I really do feel like Kamara is going to be a good fit for Leeds,” Jones reportedly said. He’s going to be a huge asset in the middle of the park, in my opinion, based on their current roster and team selections.

I am aware that there has been some controversy around claims of a pricing disagreement, but the player is in a position where he is prepared to make this transition.

“According to my information, as of Monday night, there were no problems and the negotiations were still going strong, so there is still a real chance the agreement will go through.

What’s next for Leeds?

According to The Athletic, Leeds is attempting to take Djed Spence on a loan from Tottenham Hotspur for the duration of the season, suggesting that Farke is ready to improve his full-back options.

The England under-21 international, who has only played six games for Spurs, has reportedly been identified as a target while the Whites also aim to sign a central midfielder and No. 10.

Spence has attracted interest from teams in the Championship and Serie A after failing to impress Spurs’ new manager Ange Postecoglou. Spurs are accepting Spence bids.

Ligue 1 club Strasbourg is also interested in signing the former Middlesbrough player on loan, in addition to Leeds, Bristol City, and Swansea.

Spence, who is anxious to stay in the Premier League, is reportedly also admired by Southampton and Crystal Palace.
