Leeds United forward Joe Gelhardt is set to join Hull City on loan for the remainder of the season.
Leeds United forward Joe Gelhardt is close to leaving Elland Road. Our sister title Hull Live says Hull City have agreed a deal to sign the 22-year-old on loan until the end of the season. It is believed the Whites have sanctioned Gelhardt's exit and a deal to take Gelhardt to the MKM Stadium could be confirmed in the next 48 hours.
Former Wigan Athletic man Gelhardt has found first team opportunities hard to come by with the Championship leaders this season, playing just nine minutes of league campaign so far. He was left out of the matchday squad for their FA Cup third round tie with Harrogate Town last night. Barring any late issues, Gelhardt will link up with City before the trip to London on Friday afternoon and be part of Ruben Selles' squad for Saturday's early kick-off at Millwall. Selles refused to be drawn on speculation linking the Tigers with Gelhardt at his pre-match press conference. But United manager Daniel Farke was hugely complimentary about the Liverpool-born player. 'Joffy (Gelhardt) is a candidate (to leave) as he hasn't played that much, but who goes out? We will make some decisions that are beneficial for us in the coming weeks. You can maybe expect one or two younger players to go out on loan, that makes sense and we'll make a decision in the coming days. 'I have an open relationship with him (Gelhardt) and have made it clear I rate him. It's tough on him as he is a top character with his qualities; it is just a competition thing. I have preferred to stick with Joel Piroe and Mateo Joseph. It is tough for him as he works his socks off in every training session. He knows I trust him. His behaviour is unbelievable. 'Younger players (could leave) for their development if it makes sense to send them out on loan. We will assess the rehab of Patrick (Bamford) and how that progresses, but overall, we are in a very good position, and I expect a very quiet January. We have (Joel) Piroe, Joseph (Gelhardt), young prospects and (Wilfried) Gnonto could play striker. We are not in panic mode.
