Leeds United could be about to seal a monster beat-the-deadline transfer after reaching an agreement on personal terms.
The Whites have just four days to complete their remaining transfer business but it appears as though they are going to be ambitious in who they target.
Manor Solomon is expected to be signing number six of the summer imminently after Leeds finally reached a full agreement with Tottenham over a season-long-loan.
Solomon may not be the only attacker moving to Elland Road before Friday’s 11pm deadline either, with interest in Freiburg’s Roland Sallai also still there.
Bournemouth’s Max Aarons and Sheffield United’s Gustavo Hamer are two other names who have come onto the radar in the last few days as well.

Major Gustavo Hamer to Leeds update emerges
Having generated the most amount of cash through player sales across the whole of Europe, Leeds clearly have cash to spend in these final days of the window.
A £13 million offer to Sheffield United for Hamer is also further proof of that, though that is an approach which has been knocked back by their Championship counterparts.
That had looked as though it would be the end of Leeds’ interest in Hamer, but a new report from TransferWatch.NL has suggested otherwise.
It is said that Hamer has actually reached an agreement on personal terms with Leeds ahead of a potential move, and a deal is expected to be done in the coming days.
The 49ers are reportedly willing to pay big cash in order to get it over the line, with Sheffield United ‘willing to cooperate’ a transfer.
This is certainly a huge turn of events and it will now be interesting to see if a more reliable outlet in England pick the story up.
Sheffield United already have Hamer replacement in mind
Hamer would be a significant loss for Sheffield United having already proved in the first three matches what a player he is at this level, with two goals.
As such, if he was to leave, the Blades would have to find a serious replacement and it has been reported Celtic’s Mikey Johnston could be that man.
Hamer has been playing on the left-wing this season with Callum O’Hare, Oli Arblaster and Vinicius Souza part of a midfield three, making Johnston a like-for-like replacement.
Johnston impressed on loan at West Brom in the Championship last season and could reportedly be allowed to leave again.
