Leeds United tipped to sign Junior Firpo this week

Leeds United are close to signing FC Barcelona left-back Junior Firpo, according to The Athletic.

Left-back is a priority for the English club and they see Firpo as their number one choice. A medical is expected to be performed in Leeds before confirming the transfer.

The 24-year-old has failed to challenge Jordi Alba for the starting left-back berth at the Camp Nou since joining from Real Betis. The Catalans have reportedly been looking to move the Spanish youth international, who was born in the Dominican Republic, for a good fee.
