Leeds United could complete the signing of winger Hadi Sacko from Sporting Lisbon over the course of this week.
Sacko spent the season on loan at Leeds from the Portuguese giants and helped the Whites to finish in seventh spot in the Championship, just outside the playoff places.
While Sacko attracted some criticism from fans due to a lack of end product, Leeds see potential and are keen to secure him on a permanent deal for a fee of around €2m.
Despite the Whites currently being without a head coach following Garry Monk's departure, Sacko could sign later this week, according to the Yorkshire Evening Post.
He would represent Leeds' first signing of the summer and also indicate that transfer policy will in part not be the preserve of the club's new head coach.

Sacko made 42 appearances across all competitions for Leeds this season, but scored just twice as he struggled to offer a genuine goal threat from out wide.
The winger has made four appearances for Sporting Lisbon's senior team, with the vast majority of his game time in Portugal coming with the club's B side, for whom he turned out on 54 occasions, scoring ten times.
