Phil Hay in the Yorkshire Evening Post reports that Leeds are finally on the verge of securing one of their major summer transfer targets following weeks of negotiations for the Sunderland midfielder.
The 27-year-old, who spent much of last season on loan at Elland Road, was set on a return to Leeds having fallen out of favour at Sunderland but complex negotiations over the settlement of his £26,000-a-week deal at the Stadium of Light delayed his arrival.
He and Sunderland shook hands on a settlement last week, however, and despite a further delay in finalising personal terms with Leeds over the weekend, a two-year contract was agreed earlier today.
The former Brighton midfielder is expected to be officially unveiled ahead of tomorrow’s Championship clash with Fulham at Elland Road.
