Leeds United are looking to complete the signing of Jaka Bijol over the weekend.<\/strong><\/p>\n As Daniel Farke prepares for life in the Premier League, the Udinese centre-back has been identified as an ideal recruit for life at the top. <\/p>\n Leeds have had a bid accepted for Bijol<\/a>, with his medical already said to be completed at Thorp Arch. <\/p>\n However, supporters have been stressed somewhat as there has been no movement since that update, despite claims that the deal should have been completed by the end of the week. <\/p>\n As Leeds<\/a> prepare for life in the Premier League, Farke will have been keen to get his business going in anticipation of pre-season.<\/p>\n However, the hold-up on this transfer of Bijol<\/a> will surely have been causing some nerves for those in West Yorkshire after it previously looked to be a smooth sailing deal. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n Beren Cross previously said he would be shocked if the deal wasn\u2019t reached by the end of this week, but the radio silence from the Whites is not the most reassuring thing. <\/p>\n Thankfully, supporters can put their minds at ease as Cross has revealed that there is no big worry despite the transfer delay, despite nobody seeing it coming. <\/p>\n Posting on X (21 June), when asked about the delay, he replied: \u201cYou can consider me shocked, but I think the same goes for a few people at the club too. Nobody anticipated how long the paperwork would drag out.<\/p>\n \u201cBeen reassured several times it\u2019s all in hand.\u201d<\/p>\n You can consider me shocked, but I think the same goes for a few people at the club too.
