Leeds United are said to be closing in on the signing of PSV forward Cody Gakpo, with the Yorkshire club hoping to sign the youngster after an electric start to the season.

The 23-year-old has scored eight league goals in as many games so far this season, notching six assists in the process, while he's also produced some brilliant performances in the Europa League.

United could soon find themselves on the brink of a frontline crisis, with Cristiano Ronaldo looking like he could be set for a move away from the club in January.

With Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial both enduring injury issues over the past few seasons, Erik ten Hag will know he can't leave himself too short.
