Leeds United have agreed a deal with Lyon for goalkeeper Lucas Perri worth £15.6million.

The 27-year-old Brazilian is expected to become the new Leeds No 1.

Perri's medical will take place at Leeds' pre-season training camp in Germany and he could feature in their next friendly on Saturday.

With Frenchman Illan Meslier falling out of favour last season, a new keeper has been at the forefront of Leeds' priorities ahead of their return to the Premier League.

Perri will become Leeds' seventh signing of the summer window - and went viral last season after recording a mammoth 50 metre throw during a match for Lyon.
