Sources: Leeds schedule Lang talks after £6m deal agreed
Leeds United have scheduled talks with Club Brugge sensation Noa Lang as they step up plans to bring in attacking reinforcements, Football Insider understands.
A Leeds source has told Football Insider that they will hold discussions with Lang, 21, after the season finishes this weekend.
That will also coincide with the end of the Belgian domestic season, in which the Brugge star has emerged as one of its top talents.
Lang is on a season-long loan from Ajax but it has already been agreed the deal will be converted into a permanent one in July for around £6m.
However, that will not stop top clubs across Europe, including Leeds, trying to prise the Holland Under-21 international from Brugge.
