The 26-year-old joined Leeds on loan from Wolverhampton Wanderers in the summer transfer window.
The deal will become permanent in July 2020 for a fee of around £15 million, and according to Phil Hay of The Athletic, Leeds are ‘100 per cent committed’ to complete the move.
During a Q/A session with the fans after Leeds’ 4-0 win against Hull City, Hay has claimed that the deal ‘has to be done’.
However, the well-connected Athletic journalist isn’t sure whether Leeds will sign Jean Kevin-Augustin on a permanent deal. Leeds have an obligation to sign him if they secure promotion to the Premier League, but Augustin is currently injured and hasn’t done enough for the Whites.
