Recently, French publication L’Equipe reported that Leeds United are closing in on the free transfer of Yoann Barbet from Brentford.
The Yorkshire club, who will be playing in the Championship next season despite coming close to achieving promotion this term, are keen to sign the player after his release from Griffin Park was confirmed earlier this month.
The 26-year-old would be a good signing for the club. Leeds clearly need some reinforcement at the heart of defence, and Barbet would be an ideal fit.
He has proven experience in the Championship and is versatile enough to play as a left-back.
