Report: Leeds United defender Conor Shaughnessy set for loan exit

According to reports from the Yorkshire Evening Post, Leeds United defender Conor Shaughnessy is set to join Hearts on loan in the January transfer window.

The 22-year-old will finalise a move to Edinburgh today, and will link up with Hearts to travel with their squad to a training camp in Spain tomorrow.

Shaughnessy has struggled with fitness this season, and made only one appearance under Marcelo Bielsa. The solo appearances came in August, and he has dropped down the pecking order at the club, with youngster Aapo Halme now above him.
