Leeds United are in talks to sign Middlesbrough striker Patrick Bamford, according to Sky sources.

It is understood that the fee being discussed by the clubs is £7m.

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 club during the 2014-15 season.

Bamford scored 13 goals in 44 appearances for Middlesbrough last term as the club reached the Sky Bet Championship play-offs.
