Sources: Leeds agree Miller deal after Birmingham accept seven-figure bid
Leeds United have agreed terms with Birmingham City starlet Amari Miller, Football Insider can exclusively reveal.
The Championship club have accepted an offer from United of an initial £200,000 rising to £1.5million with performance-related add-ons.
A Leeds source has told Football Insider that the deal is all but done barring the final paperwork.
It is expected that Miller will complete a move to Elland Road imminently, possibly on 1 July.
This site broke the news on 15th June that United were in advanced negotiations to land the 18-year-old striker after stealing a march on Everton.
The Yorkshire giants have set their sights on luring top homegrown talents this summer fas a result of the new difficulties signing youngsters from Europe following Brexit.
Birmingham do not want to lose Miller and confirmed last month that he was one of five second-year scholars to be offered professional terms.
He will not leave St Andrews for free as Leeds will need to pay a compensation fee to Birmingham for development costs.
Lee Bowyer fast-tracked the teenager into the City first team in the final weeks of last season even though they were locked in a relegation battle.
Miller made five appearances in April and May, including consecutive starts in wide attacking roles against Cardiff City and Blackburn Rovers.
Miller can play down the middle as a central striker as well as out wide.
His main assets are said by those who have watched him closely to be his blistering pace, sharp movement and increasingly impressive finishing.
