Conrad Harder decides on next club after Leeds United approach, medical booked
Conrad Harder has been in demand this summer, and Leeds United have now learned the outcome of their transfer pursuit.
The RB Leipzig striker has been linked with a move to the Whites as he looks for regular minutes away from the Bundesliga club.
There has been plenty of interest in the 21-year-old Danish youngster, who moved to Saxony for an initial fee of £20million from Sporting CP last summer.
The Elland Road hierarchy have been one of the teams lining up a deal for Harder, and he has now decided on his next club.
With Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Lukas Nmecha the only two natural strikers at Daniel Farke's disposal, the West Yorkshire outfit could certainly do with another number nine before the window closes.

What influenced Conrad Harder exit decision amid Leeds United interest
Sevilla have also been eyeing Harder, but the La Liga side may not be getting the striker after all.
Leeds have also been handed a blow in the race for the attacker as he's set to move to Strasbourg, according to Tipsbladet on 30 August.
The Denmark Under-21 international will join the French club on loan, with final details needing to be sorted out.
With the Ligue 1 club reaching an agreement with RB Leipzig for the forward, he's expected to fly out on Sunday to complete the switch.
Getting regular minutes has been an important factor in Harder's decision on choosing his next club and the striker has been promised that at Stade de la Meinau.
According to Foot Mercato journalist Santi Aouna, the loan deal also includes an option to buy, with the Danish youngster set to undergo his medical.
What Daniel Farke still needs at Elland Road before transfer deadline
Michael Zetterer has joined Leeds as a back-up to James Trafford after Lucas Perri's move to Torino.
With the goalkeeper becoming the Whites' fifth signing of the summer, 49ers Enterprises seem to have focused on adding quality rather than quantity to Farke's squad.
The German manager will surely still be looking to strengthen a few areas in the coming hours, if he can.
Wilfried Gnonto's sale at Elland Road would undoubtedly require the addition of a new winger in LS11.
The West Yorkshire outfit should also be on the lookout to add cover for Gabriel Gudmundsson in the squad, with the Swedish left-back's fitness issues a concern for fans.
