Report: Michael Tonge to join Leeds United

Stoke City midfielder Michael Tonge will reportedly complete a permanent move to Leeds United in the January transfer window.

The 32-year-old, who has fallen out of favour at the Britannia, joined Leeds on loan at the beginning of the season.

According to talkSPORT, the midfielder has sufficiently impressed Leeds boss Neil Warnock to complete a permanent transfer as soon as the winter window opens.

Tonge is now back at Stoke following the expiry of his loan spell, but it is understood that an agreement has already been reached with all parties involved.
