Joe Gelhardt is finalising a loan move from Leeds United to Hull City.

The 22-year-old striker has made just three league starts with the club since August 2022 and needs to jump-start his career.

Meanwhile, midfielder Charlie Crew is also finalising a loan away from Leeds, but to Doncaster Rovers in League Two.

Gelhardt is undergoing his medical today (Monday) and expects to conclude the formalities on a deal until the end of the season.

It will be his second loan stint in the Championship, having linked up with Sunderland in January 2023, where he made 20 appearances and scored three goals.

With Joel Piroe, Mateo Joseph and Patrick Bamford ahead of Gelhardt in the pecking order at the tip of the United attack, there are no plans to replace him this month.

Across this window as a whole, it is expected to be quiet on the incoming front at Elland Road.

Crew, meanwhile, will depart a midfield department overrun with options for Daniel Farke. Ethan Ampadu, Ilia Gruev, Joe Rothwell, Ao Tanaka and Josuha Guilavogui are competing for two slots in the line-up.

The 18-year-old has been training with the first team for the past 12 months, but has been unable to regularly force his way into the line-up.

Leeds return to action against Sheffield Wednesday on Sunday.
