Leeds United are still expected to sign Jerry Mbakogu.

Carpi striker Jerry Mbakogu is ready to return to action ahead of his probable switch to Leeds United.

Parlando di Sport report Mbakogu will be available for the final five games of the season for the Serie B side.

The report states Mbakogu is scheduled to join Leeds at the end of the season, with the clubs only needing to agree on the price, which will be between 3.5 and 4.5 million Euros.

Mbakogu has been out of action for two months with a knee injury.

Newspaper Gazzetta di Modena report the Nigerian has been in Barcelona undergoing treatment to accelerate his return.

Mbakogu had scored eight goals in all competitions this season prior to his injury.

Gazzamercato reported in February that Leeds had struck a provisional agreement to sign Mbakogu this summer.

His injury certainly could have given Leeds pause for thought and he will hope to prove his fitness over the last five games of the season.

The Mail reported that Mbakogu was set to apply for paperwork to speed up his potential transfer to Leeds, who will need a replacement up front for Pierre-Michel Lasogga.
