Leeds United appear to have found Jesse Marsch's replacement as new manager.

The Whites are set to appoint Javi Gracia, an ex-Watford coach, as their new boss.

The announcement of the deal was made on Tuesday, with Leeds knowing that Gracia still needs a work permit to take up the post.

One issue for Leeds is whether recent loan signing Weston McKennie will fit into Gracia's plans.

Per The Express, Leeds will decide on whether to sign McKennie permanently near the end of the season.

He is presently on a loan deal for the second half of this season from Juventus.
