Leeds United are set to sign Pascal Struijk from Ajax, according to The Yorkshire Evening Post.

It has been reported that Leeds will sign Struijk for their Under-23 side, and that the deal will be completed imminently.

Struijk is a highly-rated young player who is just 18 years of age and operates as a central defender.

The youngster has played largely for Ajax’s Under-19 side and has not broken into the Dutch club’s first team.

According to The Yorkshire Evening Post, Leeds will add Struijk to their Under-23 side.

The Championship have signed quite a number of players to their youth team, such as Sam Dalby and Aapo Halme.

Leeds fans have taken to social networking site Twitter to give their reaction to the imminent signing of Struijk – not many are happy that the Whites are not strengthening their first team, who are fighting for a spot in the Championship playoffs this season but are outside the top six at the moment.
