Leeds United to loan Michael Tonge?

Stoke City midfielder Michael Tonge is reportedly on the verge of joining Leeds United on loan.

The 29-year-old is said to be surplus to requirements at the Britannia Stadium, having not featured for the Potters first team since January 2011.

He spent seven years under Neil Warnock's management at Sheffield United and, according to The Mirror, the pair will link up again later this month.

Tonge has already been loaned out four times by Stoke, having spells at Barnsley, Derby County and Preston North End (twice).
