Leeds United have reached an agreement to sign Spanish defender Diego Llorente from Real Sociedad, the La Liga club have said.
Financial details of the agreement were not disclosed but British media reported Leeds would shell out up to 20m pounds ($25.44m) for the 27-year old center back.
Llorente began his pro career at Real Madrid but failed to cement a spot in the first team and joined Sociedad in 2017.
He made 30 appearances for Imanol Alguacil’s side last season as they finished sixth and reached the Copa del Rey final.
Leeds are looking to shore up their defence after conceding seven goals from their two Premier League games so far.
