Leeds United have been busy working hard to get players out of the door and while Glen Kamara is in France undergoing a medical, a goalkeeper is also due to leave on loan today.
Kamara is set to complete a medical with Ligue 1 side Rennes today and become the club’s sixth summer sale after Archie Gray, Kris Klaesson, Marc Roca, Diego Llorente and Thorp Arch product Charlie Cresswell.
Plenty have left the club at the end of their contract, too. Liam Cooper, Cody Drameh and Ian Poveda are free agents, while Jamie Shackleton and Lew Bate have joined Sheffield United and Stockport County.
There have also been loan exits at Elland Road this summer. Sam Greenwood has gone to Preston, Jack Harrison back to Everton, Darko Gyabi returns to Plymouth and Sonny Perkins has joined Leyton Orient.
Leeds goalkeeper set to become fifth loan exit to local club
Darryl Ombang struggled to feature last season. The 19-year-old managed just one Premier League 2 outing, as competition from Dani van den Heuvel and Harry Christy proved to be too much for Ombang.
The former has now left on a free while Ombang and Christy have signed new contracts at Leeds. But there is plenty of competition for the U21 starting spot in goal and Ombang has chosen to leave on loan.
The Yorkshire Evening Post report that Ombang is closing in on a loan move to National League North side Farsley Celtic. A side that are managed by Clayton Donaldson, who finished in 20th place last term.
Darryl Ombang trial works wonders as he saves penalty
Given he is a relative unknown, Ombang has been on trial at the sixth-tier side this summer and played twice. In a 3-0 win over Eccleshill United, Ombang made a second-half penalty save for Farsley Celtic.
While it is a considerable drop in level, Ombang will now have the chance to play senior football and get the chance to return to Leeds whenever the loan finishes with that first-team experience under his belt.
He is due to become the fifth player that leaves Leeds on loan, but is hardly going to be the last with the window only a couple of weeks old. Plenty more are expected to leave Elland Road temporarily.
