Leeds United have acted quickly after seeing a move for Daniel Cuisance of Bayern Munich collapse. In his place is Rennes winger Raphinha, with a deal agreed worth around £21 million, according to reports.

Leeds United have reportedly struck an agreement with French side Rennes over the transfer of Brazilian winger Raphinha.

The 23-year-old looks likely to arrive after Leeds failed to complete a deal for Michael Cuisance, Bayern Munich’s 21-year-old Frenchman.

Raphinha is now set to undergo a medical ahead of formalising a transfer. He joined Rennes last year for £18 million, with a deal worth up to £21 million believed to have been agreed this weekend, according to Sky Sports.
