Leeds United set to sign player who has already smashed Bundesliga record
Leeds are closing in on Eintracht Frankfurt star Jean-Matteo Bahoya, who will bring some standout traits to the Whites' attack.
Daniel Farke has been chasing a winger before the transfer deadline on Tuesday.
He is finally set to get his wish, as the pursuit of Mykhailo Mudryk was hijacked by Tottenham.
The recruitment team have plucked Bahoya out of the shortlist, and a deal has been agreed for his services.
There is plenty for supporters to be excited about the expected signing, as he has already proven that he can smash records.

What Bundesliga record has new Leeds man Jean-Matteo Bahoya smashed?
Leeds have agreed a loan with a £26million buy option for the French talent.
Fans at Elland Road are in for a treat as Bahoya is a true speed demon, that should be electric.
He became the only player to ever surpass the 37km/h mark since Bundesliga records began.
A report from Sky Sports on Tuesday highlights just how fast that is, with Usain Bolt's average when he set the 100m world record being 37.58km/h.
It also states that only three Premier League players have ever breached that mark.
Who else is as fast as Bahoya in the Premier League?
The reports claim is actually inaccurate, there have been four players in English top-flight history to breach that margin.
Bahoya is in elite company, in terms of his speed, as Anthony Gordon, Micky van de Ven, Kyle Walker and Jackson Tchatchoua have reached that figure.
If he can utilise it to his advantage and beat defenders regularly, he will quickly become a fan favourite in Yorkshire.
The data suggests that he can, with Bahoya completing 2.78 successful dribbles, for a success rate of 59.4 per cent, according to FotMob data.
He also knows where the back of the goal is, with three goals last season in the Bundesliga, and also notched four assists.
If he can improve those numbers slightly and produce even more, he will very quickly endear himself to the Leeds fanbase.
