Luis Sinisterra to Leeds United transfer latest as Whites aim to seal deal before Australia trip

Leeds United are looking to tie up a replacement for Raphinha before the squad jet off for their pre-season tour of Australia. The Whites appear destined to lose their talismanic Brazilian this summer, though his desperation for Barcelona is looking like dragging out the saga a little while longer yet.

But the man Leeds have chosen to replace him with is Feyenoord’s Luis Sinisterra, who is looking like he will join the club by the end of this week. Sinisterra is a Colombian international left winger who scored 23 goals and provided 14 assists in all competitions last season and could become Feyenoord’s highest ever sale.

It is a deal that has seemingly been kept well under the radar by Leeds, with the first reports of the club’s interest only materialising on Monday. Here is all the latest regarding Sinisterra’s potential move to Elland Road.

Leeds United are set to close the signing of Feyenoord winger Luis Sinisterra, according to the Daily Express. They claim the Colombian winger was excused from the Dutch side’s open training session on Monday to discuss terms with the Whites, which have now been agreed.

Leeds have also reached an agreement with Feyenoord for the deal meaning it could be wrapped up in the next couple of days, subject to a medical. Jesse Marsch’s side have moved quickly to beat off competition from Everton, Sevilla and Nice.

Talks with Tyler Adams are at an advanced stage as Leeds United look to swiftly fill the hole left by Kalvin Phillips ahead of Sunday’s flight to Australia. The Whites hope to land the 23-year-old on a permanent transfer from RB Leipzig before Jesse Marsch takes the squad Down Under for more than two weeks.

While the move for Adams has moved quickly and may be completed
