Leeds United have bid accepted by Wolves for left-back Barry Douglas


Sky Bet Championship side Leeds United have had a bid accepted by Wolves for defender Barry Douglas, according to reports.

A £5m deal was agreed between the two clubs on Tuesday morning.

The 28-year-old was a star for Wanderers last season as they stormed their way to the Championship title, scoring five goals and assisting a further 14.

The full-back, who won his first Scotland cap during the 2017/18 season in the 1-0 victory over Hungary, joined Wolves for a bargain £1m from Turkish side Konyaspor last summer.

Jonny Castro is set to make a loan switch from Atletico Madrid to the West Midlands side this week, and with Ruben Vinagre joining on a permanent deal last month, Douglas has now been deemed surplus to requirements.

Reports say that Douglas is now in Leeds negotiating personal terms with the Whites, who are 7/2 shots for promotion to the Premier League this season.

Leeds have already added Jamal Blackman and Lewis Baker to their ranks, both joining on season-long loans from Chelsea.

Their transfer business has come under scrutiny though with failed negotiations blighting their summer so far.

The club cooled their interest in Derby County forward Matej Vydra due to an increase in wage demands, but remain hopeful that a deal can still be concluded before the August 9th deadline.

Leeds are still in a number of negotiations as they aim to bring in three or four further additions during this window.
