Multiple sources revealed on 2 August that Yosuke Ideguchi will be leaving Championship side Leeds United to return to former club Gamba Osaka in a permanent move.



Both clubs reached an agreement over the transfer, but Ideguchi had not respond by the deadline of 31 July and it looked like the move would fall through. Gamba then requested for an extension and started renegotiations immediately. The J1 club eventually beat off interests from France and Russia to the former Japan international.

Ideguchi spent the 2018/19 season on loan at German second division side Greuther Furth, where he recorded seven matches and one goal.

Should his transfer go through, the earliest the 22-year-old can make his debut is against Sanfrecce Hiroshima on 10 August.
