Sunderland midfielder Liam Bridcutt is close to joining Leeds United.

The Sunderland Echo says Bridcutt is finally closing in on a move to Championship side Leeds.

The Scotland cap doesn't have a future at the Stadium of Light under Moyes and sources in Leeds claim Bridcutt has agreed a deal with Sunderland to sever the final year of his contract.

Both clubs have been negotiating a permanent transfer throughout the summer following the midfielder's successful loan spell last season. Bridcutt is understood to be discussing personal terms with Leeds.
