Billy Sharp 'to undergo medical at Leeds United'

Southampton striker Billy Sharp is due to undergo a medical with Leeds United, according to a report.

The forward is on the verge of completing a £1.8m move to Elland Road after being told that he is surplus to requirements by Saints boss Ronald Koeman, according to Goal.com.

Sharp will be subjected to a medical along with Chesterfield centre-back Liam Cooper, who is also on course to join the Championship outfit.

The forward has struggled to hold down first-team football at Southampton since the club returned to the Premier League, and has been loaned out to Nottingham Forest, Reading and Doncaster Rovers.
