Ezgjan Alioski is closing in on a move to Leeds United, according to reports.
Swiss outlet Corriere del Ticino report Leeds have already held discussions with Lugano club president Angelo Renzetti.
It is claimed Alioski is expected to sign with Leeds and all that remains is for the transfer to be ‘formalised’.

The winger scored at a prolific rate for Lugano last season, netting 17 goals, 16 of which came in the league.
He also contributed 14 assists during a superb campaign which saw him end the season as the third highest goalscorer in Switzerland.

Alioski is a Macedonia international and had been strongly linked with a move after his outstanding season.
German outlet 4-4-2 report that German and Italian clubs have been vying for his signature but he is now set to sign for Leeds.
Alioski would become the first signing for Leeds under new boss Thomas Christiansen who was appointed last week.
