Leeds United reportedly want to sign Patrick Bamford from Middlesbrough in the summer transfer window.

Leeds United have agreed a deal with Middlesbrough over the transfer of Patrick Bamford, according to The Mirror (Transfer Live blog, 13:24pm, Saturday, July 28, 2018).

It has been reported that Leeds and Middlesbrough have agreed on a fee of £7 million for the transfer of the former Nottingham Forest striker from the Whites to Boro in the summer transfer window.

Good signing for Leeds United?

Bamford is a very good striker, and the 24-year-old is proven at the Championship level and would be a good signing for Leeds.

The West Yorkshire outfit need a proven goalscorer, and although the former Chelsea prospect has not exactly been exactly consistent, he can do a very good job.

Given that Bamford is only 24 years of age, the reported transfer fee of £7m could prove to be a bargain for Leeds in the long run.

Leeds have made two major signings so far in the summer transfer window, bringing in midfielder Lewis Baker and goalkeeper Jamal Blackman on loan from Premier League club Chelsea.
