The 25-year-old Souttar, who was born in Scotland, has played in just four games for Leicester under coach Enzo Maresca. He has, however, excelled for his nation, tallying five goals in ten appearances this season.

The 28-year-old Roberts is expected to receive a physical before making the projected move to the Whites, where he has agreed to sign a contract to play on loan from Burnley for the remainder of the season.
Daniel Farke’s team appears to be considering a center defender as well, with connections to Harry Souttar, Joe Worrall, and Ben Godfrey among other candidates.Although it’s highly unlikely that a deal will be made for the latter, Leeds may now be able to pursue a trade for Worrall of Nottingham Forest.Alan Nixon claims that Sheffield United and Leeds are prepared to battle for the player’s signature, and that Forest is now willing to approve a loan move before tonight’s 11 p.m. deadline.

According to reports, both Yorkshire teams rejected loan proposals from Forest for the 27-year-old last night as they persisted in demanding a long-term agreement.

Nixon, however, is now claiming that Forest has lowered their asking price to £6 million and given him the “all clear” to complete a temporary exit today.
