Leeds United ended deadline day with two loan arrivals and three outgoing loans, wrapping up five late moves.

According to Leedsunited.news, Melvin Bard and Jean-Matteo Bahoya joined on loan, while Willy Gnonto, Largie Ramazani and Sam Chambers departed on initial loans that could become permanent. The outlet ranks the business A+ to D, led by Bahoya, with Ramazani B+, Bard B, Chambers C and Gnonto D. Supporters had wanted four signings, but two came in.

The two incoming loans could total up to £31m. Bahoya, 21, arrives from Frankfurt with a £26m option that becomes mandatory if unspecified clauses are met, and he offers depth out wide and in attacking midfield. He was rated at £60m in January.

Bard is a left-back with 193 appearances for Nice, and has captained the side on occasion. Leeds have secured him for a £900k loan fee with a £4.2m option. He adds reliable defensive cover.

Ramazani has joined Burnley on loan with an obligation. The fee is put at £6.5m, rising to £8.5m with add-ons, though it is unclear whether the obligation is mandatory or conditional. It points to a likely profit.

Scotland youth international Chambers, who debuted under Daniel Farke in 2024-25 and started an FA Cup tie at Millwall, has dropped to League Two for game time. A loan was deemed important after injuries.

Gnonto’s switch to Fiorentina brings in a £900k loan fee and carries an option to buy for £13m, which is not an obligation.
