A player who Leeds United came close to signing last summer is on the verge of sealing a new move.

Former Leeds United target Nadiem Amiri is set to seal a deadline week transfer to a new club from Bayer Leverkusen.

Leeds were interested in signing Germany international midfielder Amiri last summer and came close to signing him, only for a breakdown in negotiations and ultimately a return to Leverkusen.

Amiri has since bagged just 81 minutes of Bundesliga football for Leverkusen this season and the 27-year-old is now poised to seal a deadline week move to fellow Bundesliga club Mainz.

The midfielder is reportedly having his medical today ahead of a switch to the club who are second-bottom in the table with just one league win from 18 games so far.
