Leeds United have agreed a \u00a310 million deal to complete their tenth signing of the summer transfer window.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Daniel Farke<\/a> has wasted no time in responding to his side\u2019s chastening defeat against Arsenal, which \u201churt\u201d club legend Jermaine Beckford<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Leeds\u2019 defence was called into question in the defeat, with Farke openly questioning three of his players<\/a> after the game, after Jurrien Timber was allowed to score two goals from corners. <\/p>\n

Now, Leeds have moved to bolster their defence, with the signing of Leicester City full-back James Justin<\/a>, who will become Leeds\u2019 10th signing of the summer. <\/p>\n

According to a report from Telegraph journalist Mike McGrath, Leicester City man James Justin is undergoing his medical at Thorp Arch and will complete a permanent transfer to the club. <\/p>\n

Justin\u2019s move to Leeds was thrown into doubt<\/a> by an injury picked up while on duty for Leicester. However, the Foxes\u2019 boss clarified<\/a> that he had only suffered a dead leg and was not expected to miss a long period. Despite this, Justin sat out Leicester\u2019s Championship fixture with Charlton this weekend. <\/p>\n

Leeds have been linked with a move for Justin for several weeks, and the deal is likely to be the precursor to Isaac Schmidt leaving the club<\/a> to join Werder Bremen. <\/p>\n

Justin deal means Leeds can focus on attacking targets<\/p>\n

News of Justin\u2019s medical with the club will come as a relief to everyone involved with Leeds, not least Farke, following their meek surrender at the Emirates. <\/p>\n

With Leeds now on the verge of signing the defensive cover that Farke has craved, they can now turn their attentions to bolstering Farke\u2019s attack for their survival bid.<\/p>\n

Several forwards have been linked with Leeds in recent days, with Dilane Bakwa of Strasbourg<\/a> emerging as a leading contender over the weekend. <\/p>\n

With only a handful of days now left in the transfer market to run, handing Farke the weapons he needs to compete with the league\u2019s juggernauts, such as Arsenal, is more important than ever. <\/p>\n
