Report: Leeds United close to completing Fernando Forestieri swoop

Out-of-favour Watford forward Fernando Forestieri is closing in on a £3m move to Leeds United, according to a report.

Leeds United are reportedly close to sealing the £3m signing of Watford forward Fernando Forestieri.

Whites boss Uwe Rosler revealed on the weekend that a fee had been agreed for the former Italy Under-21s international.

According to The Telegraph, Forestieri will complete his move to Elland Road later this week to provide Leeds with further options in attack.

United have already brought in Chris Wood and winger Stuart Dallas this summer for a total fee of around £4.5m, with the two combining in the weekend draw against Sheffield Wednesday - the club's fourth stalemate in the same number of outings this campaign.

Forestieri made 26 appearances for Watford in all competitions last season, scoring five goals - including two against Leeds - during that time.
