German press report Leeds signing is imminent.

German goalkeeper Felix Wiedwald is reportedly set to undergo a medical at Leeds United today (29/6) as he closes in on his move from Werder Bremen.

Newspaper Weser Kurier report, citing BILD, that Wiedwald will take his medical today ahead of signing a three-year contract.

The 27-year-old is set to move to Leeds in a deal which will cost the Whites a fee of 500,000 Euros.

Wiedwald has turned down offers from Nantes and PAOK Salonika in order to sign with Leeds.

His contract was set to expire next season and he leaves with Werder’s blessing despite their wish to have kept him.

Bremen general manger Frank Baumann told the Weser Kurier: “It’s a pity Felix leaves us. It was clearly communicated by his side that he was going to leave.”

The goalkeeper was keen on a new challenge and he will certainly get that at Leeds, who are hoping to win promotion back to the Premier League.

After more than a decade outside the top flight, Leeds fans are hopeful that they are on the verge of an exciting new era under impressive new owner Andrea Radrizzani.
