Leeds United are reportedly preparing to bring Japanese international Yosuke Ideguchi to Elland Road - and plan on tying the youngster down come January.
Leeds have spotted the 21-year-old as part of their recently expanded scouting model set up around Asia, and it looks to already have taken effect, with the Championship outfit keen on taking the Gamba Osaka midfielder to Yorkshire.
According to Yorkshire Evening Post, the club's new head of recruitment, Toshiya Fujita, is planning on working out a deal with Ideguchi's J-League side having spent the end of summer in Japan.
Leeds fans have even more reason to be excited about the possible move, after the club's sporting director hinted at a move for the Japanese star:
