Leeds are edging closer to a deal for England youth international goalkeeper Darryl Ombang.

The Elland Road club are on the verge of raiding their fellow Yorkshire outfit Bradford to sign their 16 year-old academy product Ombang.

Ombang is considered among the most promising young goalkeepers coming through in England.

The club, managed by Marcelo Bielsa, have pounced amid interest from United and Everton

He was a regular in Bradford’s under-18s last season, who he first played for at the age of just 14.

His potential was further recognised with his inclusion in England’s under-16 squads this season.

Ombang had also been watched by the likes of Manchester United and Everton though Leeds are poised to secure his signature.
