Leeds United are moving fast in the summer window, and now they look close to landing a top striker from Italy.
Reports say the club has agreed a big-money deal with Serie A side Lecce for Nikola Krstovic, a strong and busy forward who could be just what Leeds need in the Premier League.
£19.6m Deal Agreed With Lecce
According to Italian news, Leeds have agreed a deal worth nearly £20 million to sign Krstovic from Lecce.
That’s a big step forward for the club, who are looking to build a stronger squad for the top flight.
Krstovic had a solid season in Italy. He’s strong, good at holding the ball, and never stops working.
He also knows how to score goals, and that’s exactly what Leeds need after a shaky season up front.

Talks Still On With The Player
Even though the clubs have agreed on the fee, the deal isn’t done yet. Now, Leeds need to convince Krstovic to move to Elland Road.
Reports say the striker is happy in Italy and not sure about leaving.
But Leeds are trying hard. They’re offering him a good wage deal and are speaking directly with his people.
The hope is that the chance to play in the Premier League, and some good money too, will help change his mind.
What He Could Bring To Leeds
If Krstovic does sign, he could become a key player in Daniel Farke’s team. Leeds already have Joel Piroe, but he didn’t finish enough chances last season.
Krstovic could give that extra bite up front. He’s not just a goal scorer. He’s clever with the ball, holds off defenders, and brings others into the game.
That kind of striker could be perfect for the way Farke wants to play quick attacks and sharp passes.
Leeds Building Smart For The Future
Krstovic could be the second big summer signing for Leeds after bringing’ in Lukas Nmecha.
The club is clearly building smart, young, hungry players who can fight in the Premier League.
Fans will be hopin’ the Krstovic deal gets over the line soon, so he can join the squad for pre-season.
If it happens, this could be one of the most important signings of the summer for the Whites.
