Jordan Botaka is set to sign a two-year contract with Leeds United, with an option for a third year, according to the Yorkshire Evening Post.
The Excelsior winger flew into England on Sunday from the Netherlands and was put through his medical paces with the Whites earlier today.
Leeds are now racing towards wrapping up the deal and signing Botaka to a contract running until 2017, although if he impresses the Championship side can increase the length by a further year.
Leeds turned their attention to Botaka after deciding NEC Nijmegen winger Anthony Limbombe was too expensive; the Whites had an offer of €2m turned down.
Botaka's replacement has already been signed by Excelsior in a sign the Dutch club are confident the deal will go through.
Indeed, Stanley Elbers has linked up with Excelsior from Helmond Sport on a three-year contract.

The winger told FOX Sports: "Last Friday I heard of the interest. At first I thought it was nonsense."
While Elbers settles into his new surroundings at Excelsior, Botaka is due to embark on a new adventure in the English Championship with Leeds.
