Confirmed: Ikorodu City Leonard Ngenge set to join Leeds United in the summer

Ikorodu City Leonard Ngenge starlet is set to join Championship side Leeds United in the summer, as officially confirmed by the club's executive member, Tobi Adepoju. He made this known after the NPFL outfit away victory against Lobi Stars where the highly rated youngster played a pivotal role, Nigeriasoccernet.com reports.

Despite a recent stumble that saw Leeds United relinquish five crucial points in their pursuit of Premier League promotion, the club remains resolutely focused on securing a top-flight return, necessitating a forward-thinking approach to their long-term transfer strategy.

Integral to this strategy appears to be the acquisition of promising young talent, as evidenced by persistent reports of a pre-contract agreement with teenage Nigerian centre-back, Leonard Ngenge, from Ikorodu City.

Further bolstering these claims, Ngenge himself has openly displayed his affinity for Leeds United on social media, notably posting images of himself sporting the team's jersey on Instagram, effectively reinforcing the notion that a formal agreement is indeed in place.
