The YEP understands that Leeds have placed a bid of €30m for Feyenoord winger Igor Paixão, as per reports from Sky Sports.

Earlier reports in Europe this week suggesting a €35m bid were wide of the mark but the Whites remain in negotiations with the Dutch side for a player they believe could be a difference maker in their Premier League survival fight.

Leeds' recruitment efforts thus far have concentrated on putting the building blocks in place to make them difficult to play against and more physical.
