Leeds United 'close in' on Jimmy Kebe signing from Crystal Palace

Leeds United are reportedly close to signing winger Jimmy Kebe from Crystal Palace.

The former Reading man would link up with previous Royals boss Brian McDermott at Leeds and end his unsuccessful time at Palace with a move.

According to the Croydon Advertiser, Kebe has been deemed surplus to requirements by Palace boss Tony Pulis.

Both a permanent and loan move are believed to be possible for the 29-year-old, who has made just six appearances for the Eagles this season.
