Leeds are closing in on the signing of Bayern Munich midfielder Michael Cuisance.
Multiple reports say that the two clubs are in advanced negotiations for the 21-year-old, who was a part of the Bayern squad which won the Champions League in August.
The deal for Cuisance is said to be worth £18million with personal terms agreed on a five-year deal.
Leeds boss Marcelo Bielsa recently hinted that the West Yorkshire club aren't finished in the transfer window ahead of the deadline on October 5.
"There is likely to be a couple of incorporation into the team," Bielsa told his press conference. "But if they don’t come. We will adapt."

Cuisance was a second-half substitute in the recent 8-0 win over Schalke and was on the bench for the Super Cup success over Sevilla last week but didn't feature in the squad for their most recent outing at Hoffenheim.
On Cuisance's absence, Bayern boss Hansi Flick said: "Musiala was in the squad instead of Cuisance because he did very well recently."
The France u-20s international made nine Bundesliga appearances for Bayern last season, playing in the central and attacking midfield positions alongside either wing.
Marseille were reported to be in the running for the midfielder, but their preference for a loan deal has moved Leeds to the front of the queue.
It's already been an impressive window for the Whites with Spain internationals Rodrigo and Diego Llorente joining Germany defender Robin Koch in making the switch to Elland Road.
