Leeds United are finally set to complete their fifth signing of the summer after over a month of waiting.
The Whites‘ last incoming of the window was Jayden Bogle all the way back in July and it has been a long and anxious wait since then, with pressure mounting on the recruitment team.
Daniel Farke has repeatedly made it clear he wants four new additions before next Friday’s deadline and cut a frustrated figure at the lack of action in his press conference ahead of Sheffield Wednesday.
Farke even claimed it would be unlikely any new additions would arrive before Friday’s trip to Hillsborough but it would appear that is premature.
Attacking reinforcements has been the top priority since the exits of Georginio Rutter and Crysencio Summerville, and finally they look set to have found one replacement.
Leeds now set to sign UD Almeria’s Largie Ramazani
Ever since Rutter’s exit, a plethora of attacking players have been linked with a move to Elland Road, some way more realistic than others.
Jack Clarke and Jonathan Rowe both look as though they will be too expensive, with the latter all but confirmed as a new Marseille player.
As such, Leeds have decided to take a look into the foreign market and according to Fabrizio Romano, they appear as though they have found their man.

Romano has reported on Twitter this evening that Leeds have agreed a deal to sign UD Almeria attacker Largie Ramazani, with medical tests already booked.
It is said Leeds will pay a fee of just under £10 million, which is certainly a significant investment at this level.
Whether he will be registered in the squad in time to face Sheffield Wednesday remains to be seen, particularly given he has to travel over from Spain.
Who is new Leeds signing Largie Ramazani?
Ramazani is an extremely versatile attacker who is right-footed but primarily plays off the left hand side.
Having said that, Ramazani has also played plenty of matches as a right-winger and central attacking midfielder, making his versatility an attractive trait for Leeds.
Ramazani is a product of the Manchester United academy and actually made one senior appearance for the Red Devils in the Europa League all the way back in 2019.
Since then, the Belgian has developed really well at Almeria, scoring 21 goals and providing nine assists in 127 appearances. He got scored three and assisted five as the Spanish side were relegated from La Liga last season.
