Leeds United are reportedly on the brink of another signing.

Sport Huesca has reported that Huesca attacker Samu Saiz is “very close” to joining Leeds United in what would be a £3 million deal.

Leeds have been linked with the 26-year-old in recent days and his agent told The Yorkshire Evening Post on Friday that the interest in his client was genuine.

And Sport Huesca have now claimed that the former Real Madrid youth is on the brink of joining the Championship club, stating that United’s £3 million bid is a higher offer than any of his other reported suitors lodged.

If true it shows that the Whites are really knuckling down to the task of preparing for next season.

Nine days ago the Yorkshire club had not yet even appointed a successor to Garry Monk following his shock resignation last month, before Thomas Christiansen’s arrival was announced last Thursday.

And Leeds made the first signing of the Christiansen era on Friday after bringing Poland midfielder Mateusz Klich to Elland Road from Eredivisie side FC Twente.

Saiz bagged 12 goals and managed eight assists from a number 10 role for the Segunda Division outfit in Spain last season.
