League One - Morgan set to make Leeds move

Eurosport - Sun, 06 Jan 18:17:00 2008

Leeds United will bolster their squad with the signing of striker Dean Morgan from League One rivals Luton Town.

FOOTBALL Leeds United Elland Road - 0

Morgan, 24, who has been on loan with Southend United for the past month in a bid to ease cash-strapped Luton's wage bill, scored twice in their 5-2 FA Cup third round win over Dagenham & Redbridge.

And he is excited about his move to Dennis Wise's team.

"Leeds have agreed a fee with Luton and I should be agreeing personal terms on Monday," Morgan said.

"They are a massive club and this is a massive opportunity for me.

"To be honest, I should have performed better in the games that I played in, so to sign off with two goals [in the Cup] was good."

Morgan's transfer fee, which has been vastly reduced after Luton fell into administration, is expected to be around the £30,000 mark.

Morgan is one of three players expected to sign for Leeds in the next 48 hours.

Stoke midfielder Peter Sweeney, who has been in free-scoring form in a loan spell with Walsall, will join for £100,000 while Birmingham midfielder Neil Kilkenny will make his loan permanent for £500,000.
