Leeds United are closing in on the capture of Manchester City’s teenage winger Ian Carlo Poveda.

The Championship promotion hopefuls have been battling Torino to sign the exciting England Under-20 wideman.

And Sportsmail understands Leeds are on the verge of winning the race after striking a deal with City for Poveda, a quick, skilful and creative winger capable of playing on either flank.

The 19 year-old made his senior debut against Burton Albion in the Carabao Cup and caught the eye in youth action for club and country.

He was once on the books of Barcelona and Torino were keen to tempt him back to Europe.

But Leeds are set to land their man and bring the Londoner, who was at Arsenal and Brentford before City, back to Yorkshire.
