Leeds United ‘agreement in place’ as £5m midfielder set for Elland Road loan exit

The midfielder is desperate for minutes as he continues to progress and develop in the senior game and with an agreement said to be in place, Leeds will be hoping the loan will allow him to take the next step in his career. Gyabi will be keen to impress, too, after seeing his initial loan with Plymouth cut short through injury.

The 20-year-old joined the Devon outfit last January and made 10 appearances for the club under Ian Foster, who could be heard singing the youngster’s praises on several occasions. However, Gyabi was forced to return to Elland Road at the end of March with a groin injury bringing his season to a premature end.

Foster was sacked in April with Plymouth struggling towards the bottom of the table, but the club have now appointed former England international Wayne Rooney to take them forward into the new season. Rooney hasn’t found too much success as a manager, but given his credentials in the game, Gyabi will surely be keen to work with him as he strives to establish himself in first-team football.

The midfielder, who made the move in 2022 from Manchester City for a fee of around £5m, still has two more seasons left to run on his current deal with Leeds and continues to find himself down the pecking order under Daniel Farke. He made just two appearances last season for the Whites, prior to his loan with Archie Gray, Glen Kamara, Ethan Ampadu and Ilia Gruev ahead of him in the pecking order.
