Italian outlet Sempre Inter have claimed that defender Ryan Nolan and striker Facundo Colidio will both join Leeds United on Thursday evening, seemingly ahead of the 5pm Thursday deadline.

Nolan, 20, was Inter Milan’s under-19 captain last season and is an Ireland youth international. He has enormous potential as he continues to shine in Inter’s youth set-up from centre-back.

Argentina striker Facundo Colidio is also a target, with the striker already making the bench for Inter Milan in three Serie A games. He has clocked up appearances for Argentina’s Under-20 side already in his young career.

Italian outlet FC Inter News claimed on Wednesday that a three-year deal had been agreed for Nolan, with Leeds desperately needing cover in central defence after Pontus Jansson left earlier this summer to join Brentford.

Wednesday’s report also claims that a deal was under discussion for Colidio, with the two sides looking to agree a fee and whether a deal would be a permanent move or just a loan-to-buy agreement. A £5.5million fee was touted.

Now, the latest article claims both Nolan and Colidio will move to Elland Road this summer ‘this evening’, which suggests that a move will be completed before Thursday’s deadline for both of Antonio Conte’s young guns.
