Midfielder Charlie Crew is expected to join Joe Gelhardt in leaving Leeds United during the January transfer window, with League Two club Doncaster Rovers leading the race for his signature.
Charlie Crew is poised to follow Joe Gelhardt out of Leeds United during the January transfer window. Reports indicate that the midfielder is attracting attention from Doncaster Rovers , a League Two club vying for promotion. The Yorkshire Evening Post claims that Rovers are eager to secure Crew on a loan deal for the remainder of the season.
The report further suggests that the Wales international could travel to South Yorkshire for a medical examination in preparation for a temporary transfer expected to be finalized within the next couple of days. Doncaster Rovers, currently situated in seventh place in the league table, are just two points shy of the automatic promotion spots. They secured their progression to the FA Cup fourth round by defeating fellow Championship strugglers Hull City in a penalty shootout yesterday. Following the Tigers' victory, manager Grant McCann remarked, 'We're working on one more (deal) and I think we're quite close on it. Hopefully (it'll be done) by the early part of next week. Again, I feel this'll be a really good signing for us and hopefully we can get it over the line.' Crew, a product of Leeds United's youth academy, holds a high regard at Thorp Arch. He commenced training with the senior team last season and was invited to participate in the first-team pre-season training camp in Germany. However, Crew's opportunities for first-team involvement have been limited due to the intense competition for midfield positions.Manager Daniel Farke boasts an abundance of talent in the midfield, including Ethan Ampadu, Joe Rothwell, Ao Tanaka, Ilia Gruev, and Josuha Guilavogui. Farke granted Crew his debut in their routine league victory over Plymouth Argyle earlier this season. The 18-year-old, who came off the bench for Wales in their friendly encounter with Gibraltar in June of the previous year, was excluded from the matchday squad for Saturday's FA Cup triumph over Harrogate Town. Leeds Live understands that Gelhardt is nearing a move to Hull City, having found himself further down the pecking order for a starting berth at Elland Road.
