Leeds United are moving for Everton midfielder Mo Besic.

The Mirror says Leeds boss Marcelo Bielsa wants to end Besic's Everton nightmare by bringing him to Elland Road in a £4.5million deal.

Bielsa aims to seal the Bosnian midfielder's full-time switch before the transfer window shuts at 5pm on Thursday.

But, if the Argentinian coach fails to beat the deadline, he plans to take Besic on loan for the season before making the move permanent next summer.

Despite the impressive start Leeds made to their campaign with a 3-1 opening day win over relegated Stoke last Sunday, Bielsa still feels he needs to strengthen his central midfield options.
