Leeds United have signed midfielder Neil Kilkenny on a permanent deal from Birmingham City and will complete a move for Stoke midfielder Peter Sweeney later this week - but have not agreed personal terms with Luton's Dean Morgan and will end their interest in the striker.

Kilkenny signed an emergency loan last week with a view to a full-time deal, which has now been completed for a duration of three-and-a-half years.

"I've got Peter Sweeney from Stoke," United manager Dennis Wise confirmed. "He's got to have a medical.

"I know him from Millwall and he can play on the left or in the middle so it's a bit of competition [for the other players]."

Morgan, meanwhile, had expected to reach agreement after ending his loan with Southend by scoring two goals in the FA Cup win over Dagenham & Redbridge.

He stated after that match: "Leeds have agreed a fee with Luton for me and I should be agreeing personal terms with them on Monday.

"It's a long way away from home, but it will be amazing playing in front of 37,000 people."

The Yorkshire club however have now confirmed the breakdown in negotiations.
