Leeds United expect to sign West Ham United striker Ashley Fletcher on loan before Tuesday's deadline.

The 21-year-old joined West Ham from Manchester United last summer and has impressed when given a chance by manager Slaven Bilic but ultimately has only started three games with the rest of his 16 appearances coming as a substitute.

Fletcher is keen to join a club of Leeds' standing and to play regularly with manager Garry Monk a fan of his workrate.

Monk believes Fletcher can give his side extra impetus in their push for promotion.

West Ham want to wrap up the signing of striker Scott Hogan from Brentford first though to ensure they can cover against injuries with Diafra Sakho not due back until March.

Norwich midfielder Sergi Canos, meanwhile, is another target for Leeds but he is expected to return to Brentford who will utilise the money from Hogan's transfer to also try and add Max Power from Wigan.
