Report: Leeds United agree £7m fee for Middlesbrough striker Patrick Bamford

Leeds United have reportedly agreed a fee of £7m with Middlesbrough for striker Patrick Bamford.

The 24-year-old joined Boro from Chelsea on a permanent deal in January 2017 after having previously enjoyed a successful loan spell at the Riverside Stadium in 2014-15.

Bamford scored 10 goals in the Championship last term, on top of his 17 in his previous season-long loan at Boro.

Earlier reports suggested that Boro and Leeds were in talks over the forward's signature and, according to Sky Sports News, the two are on the verge of striking a deal.

The report also claims that the fee could be worth £10m with a number of add-ons being included in the potential deal.

Leeds, now under the management of Marcelo Bielsa, have signed Barry Douglas, Lewis Baker and Jamal Blackman this summer.
