Roma ready to deal in Leeds defender Diego Llorente

Leeds United defender Diego Llorente is ready to sign permanently with AS Roma.

Llorente moved to Roma on-loan in January with a permanent option of €18m.

Il Romanista says Roma have seen enough from the Spaniard and they're ready to deal him in.

After a slow start, Llorente is now shining under Roma coach Jose Mourinho.

Llorente has started at centre-back in Roma's last three games and has declared he's happy in the capital.
