The deal is done: Melvin Bard is now a Leeds United player after completing a switch from Nice. The defender signs after the two clubs reached an agreement and the player completed a medical. The player is set to meet his new teammates and embark on a new chapter in his career. The move attracted little outside interest, which meant Leeds United could complete the transfer without any real contest. With only 1 goals conceded in 2 (0.5 per game), Leeds United have been one of the stronger defences in the Premier League this season.. Melvin Bard would be asked to keep that standard and provide dependable cover when needed. Nice have also been linked with Niels Nkounkou, Mohamed El Amine Amoura and Sepe Elye Wahi while Leeds United are reportedly monitoring Jean Matteo Bahoya, Niko Kristian Sigur and Conrad Harder.
