INSIDER: Leeds wrapping up deal for Barcelona fullback Junior Firpo

Leeds United are wrapping up a deal for Barcelona fullback Junior Firpo.

Leeds have been in talks for the past week with Barca for the left-back.

And Goal España's Rubén Uría reports a deal is now all but settled, with a fee of €15m agreed between the two clubs.

As part of the sale, Barca will surrender 15 per cent of the fee to Firpo's former club Sevilla.

Key to the defender's decision is the opportunity to play for Marcelo Bielsa at Leeds United.
