Leeds to sign Villarreal winger Pedraza on loan?

Leeds United are set to sign Villarreal winger Alfonso Pedraza on loan, according to reports.

The 20-year-old came through the youth team ranks at the La Liga club but has been on loan at Spanish second division club Lugo since last July.

According to the Yorkshire Evening Post, Villarreal have paid around £300,000 to buy Pedraza out of his deal with Lugo, which will be repaid to the Yellow Submarine by Leeds.

In addition, the report states that the deal will see Garry Monk's side sign Pedraza permanently for a fee of around £8.5m if they secure promotion to the Premier League in May.

Pedraza won the European Championships with Spain's Under-19s in 2015 and has also been capped at Under-21 level.
