Leeds youngster heads to Scotland on loan

Leeds United striker Ryan Edmondson is heading out on loan to Scottish side Aberdeen for the first half of the season.

Aberdeen start their Scottish Premiership season against Rangers tomorrow, and Edmondson looks to be put straight into the squad after Aberdeen are without main striker Sam Cosgrove, who is out for up to 10 weeks with a knee injury.

Aberdeen manager Derek McInnes said, "His eagerness and willingness to come to Aberdeen is really encouraging.

"He is a player we've known about for a while and always felt he had the correct attributes to add to our squad."
