Tottenham defender poised for Leeds loan

Leeds United are reportedly set to seal the loan signing of Tottenham defender Milos Veljkovic.

It is understood that Spurs are set to allow the 19-year-old centre-back to join the Championship outfit on a season-long loan deal.

Veljkovic, who enjoyed loan spells at Charlton Athletic and Middlesbrough last season, also featured seven times for Tottenham’s Under-21 squad last term.

Despite also making three appearances for Spurs’ first-team, Pochettino has plenty of defensive cover to give the Serbia Under-21 international a run of games out on loan, with Toby Alderweireld, Jan Vertonghen, Federico Fazio and Kevin Wimmer ahead in the pecking order.
