Leeds close in on a deal worth around £12m to sign Joel Piroe from Swansea as Daniel Farke looks to bolster his attacking options following the Whites' summer exodus

Leeds are closing in on an agreement to sign striker Joel Piroe from Champions rivals Swansea.

The deal is expected to be completed on Thursday, with the two clubs agreeing a fee worth around £12million for the 24-year-old.

Piroe has been one of the Championship's most consistent goalscorers since joining the Welsh club from PSV in 2021 for an initial £1m.

The Netherlands youth international netted 22 times across 45 league appearances in his first season for the Swans, before finishing fourth in the league's top scorers chart last season with 19 in 43 games.
