UPDATE Leeds closing in on winger



Update 9.01am 9/1/2014



Leeds United have signed Stewart on an initial 93 day loan. He passed a medical at Leeds last night and will be unveiled today. He is expected to go straight into the squad for Saturday

Previously...
Leeds are attempting to sign Stewart on an 93 day emergency loan. We understand this is because of Football League rules which prevent him making a permanent transfer to Leeds.

Football League regs allow players to feature for a maximum of two English clubs in one season. Stewart played once for Hull in a League Cup tie against Leyton Orient in August and featured 18 times for Charlton during his recent spell on loan at The Valley.
Charlton signed the former Manchester United trainee on a standard half-season loan, taking his quota of clubs for the term to two. Emergency loans in the Football League do not count towards that quota, however.

We understand though that United are likely to reach an agreement guaranteeing Stewart a permanent move when his deal at Hull expires in the summer.

Update 13.30 3/1/2014
In his press conference Brian McDermott has confirmed they are close to doing a deal for Cameron


Leeds said to be closing in on winger

Hull manager Steve Bruce confirmed that both Charlton and Leeds Utd are in for Cameron Stewart. Cameron is currently on loan at Charlton from Hull. A deal with Leeds for the winger cum outright striker is said to be at an advanced stage and believed to be the player Brian McDermott was in discussions with last week.

Is this the answer to our wing problems?
