Gabriel Gudmundsson is in town as Leeds look to complete their next deal.
The Whites required a swift replacement for former fan favourite Junior Firpo, who left Elland Road at the end of his contract.
The 49ers appear to be closing in on their man, with Thorp Arch reporting that Gudmundsson is on the verge of joining Daniel Farke’s team.
Gudmundsson completes Leeds medical.
So far this transfer window, the 49ers have done well in bolstering Leeds’ defence.
After the Gudmundsson trade is done, the Whites are set to focus on strengthening other areas of the pitch, with Newcastle’s Sean Longstaff already on board.
According to Sky Sports, Gudmundsson’s contract might be confirmed soon after the Swedish international completed his physical with the Whites.Farke’s side will do well in the Premier League.
The Premier League is difficult for any freshly promoted team, as Farke understands.
The German manager performed admirably in his first Premier League season with Norwich before being fired in his second season.
The left-back is expected to join West Yorkshire from French club Lille for £10 million.
The Peacocks faced competition from Europe for Gudmundsson, but Farke’s side moved quickly to complete the transfer after missing out on other targets this summer.
The 26-year-old will bring valuable experience to Leeds, having played 15 times for his country.
Supporters will hope he does not suffer the same fate, as the 49ers work hard to add to their squad at Elland Road as soon as possible.
Goal-scoring is frequently one of the most pressing challenges for freshly promoted teams, and if the Whites are to have any chance of remaining up next season, they must bring in more forwards.
Leeds have already laid a solid foundation for their Premier League campaign, and they must now provide additional attacking reinforcements to new recruit Lukas Nmecha.
