Arsenal striker, Eddie Nketiah, is set to join either Leeds United or Bristol City on loan, the BBC reports.
Leeds’ Director of Football, Victor Orta, is leading the pursuit of the 20-year-old.
The English Championship side are hoping that Orta’s relationship with Arsenal head coach Unai Emery and the proposed role they have for Nketiah, could prove decisive.
They face stiff competition from a number of clubs, including Bristol City and Fortuna Dusseldorf.
It is understood Leeds manager, Marcelo Bielsa, wants Nketiah on loan to replace Kemar Roofe who is having a medical at Anderlecht.
Bielsa will also hand him a key role in his attack this season.
