Leeds United are confident that they can get a deal over the line to land a midfielder from a Premier League club, despite the fact it would represent a big investment.

The Whites have kicked off their summer recruitment by signing Lukas Nmecha, who will join on a two-year deal when his Wolfsburg contract runs out at the end of this month.

A swoop to land centre-back Jaka Bijol is under way, although Leeds have yet to meet Udinese’s asking price for the Slovenian.
