Leeds United Secure Jean-Matteo Bahoya in Late Transfer Window Move

Leeds United have been given the go-ahead to complete a deal to sign Eintracht Frankfurt winger Jean-Matteo Bahoya, according to reports. The Whites made a late deadline-day move after the 21-year-old turned down a switch to Hull City earlier this week, and they have quickly made a breakthrough ahead of the 11pm deadline.

Transfer journalist Fabrizio Romano posted on X: "Jean Mattéo Bahoya to Leeds United, here we go! Deal agreed with also authorization for medical. Loan with mandatory buy clause set at €30m package from Eintracht. Green light also from the player, as @Santi_J_FM reported. All set for #LUFC."

The France Under-21 international arrives at Elland Road on an initial season-long loan with an obligation to buy for £25.7m, according to The Sun. Leeds are reportedly paying a £1.7m loan fee and will be obliged to pay a further £19.7m, plus £4.3m in potential add-ons, if the deal becomes permanent.

Bahoya is described as the only player to surpass 37km/h since Bundesliga records began. For context, Usain Bolt's average speed when setting the 100m world record in 2009 was 37.58km/h.

Gnonto Departs for Fiorentina

The signing of Bahoya paved the way for Italian winger Willy Gnonto to return to his homeland and join Fiorentina on a season-long loan with an option to buy, as reported by The Sun.

Bard and Ramazani Moves

Leeds also added versatile French left-back Melvin Bard, 25, on a season-long loan from Nice with an option to buy.

Meanwhile, fellow winger Largie Ramazani departed Leeds. The 25-year-old Belgian moved to Championship side Burnley on an initial season-long loan, which will become permanent next summer, depending on appearances, for a fee of £6.5m with a potential further £2m in add-ons.

Ramazani, who spent last term on loan at Valencia, said: "It feels amazing. I’m well aware of Burnley as a club from the competition we had a couple of years ago and it’s a great club.

"I know a few of the players here already too, so it’s a really exciting move for me and I’m ready to show what I can do and help Burnley get back to the Premier League.

"I have experience from playing in this league and creating that winning environment, so I’m hoping I can bring something to the team on and off the pitch."

What was claimed, and who backed it

AI-extracted; can misattribute a claim — see Methodology.

Each row is one claim, attributed to the outlet whose wording states it most clearly. Confidence rates how directly the source text states the claim — explicit and unhedged rates high; hedged, pieced-together, or internally inconsistent statements rate lower. It does not measure whether the claim is true. Status is Contested when two claims on this page negate each other; otherwise it counts the distinct outlets we found asserting that specific claim — so a single-source claim can still show high confidence, and a multi-source claim can show medium. Every one of those outlets is named beside the status, so you can check the count against the list. For claims extracted before we began storing that list, the row says so: it names the outlet the claim is quoted from and states that we have not recorded which outlets backed it. Outlets wrote at different times, so a figure that evolves — a casualty count, for example — can legitimately differ between rows; check the "as of" time next to each claim's source.
