Leeds United in talks to beat Wolves to Laurens De Bock after agreeing personal terms
LEEDS UNITED remain locked in negotiations with Club Brugge for Laurens De Bock - but face competition from Championship rivals Wolves.

It emerged last week that Leeds held talks with left-back De Bock’s representatives and have agreed personal terms on a four-and-a-half-year deal.
But Elland Road chiefs are yet to reach an agreement with Club Brugge on a transfer fee.
According to the Daily Mail, Wolves have expressed an interest in De Bock.
Barry Douglas has nailed down the left-wing-back position in Nuno Espirito Santo’s side so De Bock would face a fight for a place in the team.
Serve A outfit Torino are also keen but the 25-year-old reportedly has limited interest in a move to Italy.

De Bock, who joined Club Brugge from Lokeren in 2013, has made just eight appearances in all competitions this season.
He is currently with the Belgian club at their winter training camp in Spain.
If Leeds complete a deal for De Bock then it would spell the end for Manchester United loanee Cameron Borthwick-Jackson’s time at Elland Road.

The 20-year-old is due to spend the season on loan with Leeds but talks have been held about scrapping the deal due to a lack of game time.
He has not featured in a Championship fixture since his debut against Preston North End in August and flopped in yesterday’s FA Cup defeat at Newport County.
Reading are interested in Borthwick-Jackson if he returns to Old Trafford this month.
