Bolton Complete Mills Signing

Reports on Sunday suggest Leeds United are set to make a summer move for Bolton defender Matt Mills.

Mills joined Wanderers from Leicester City last summer for a fee believed to be in the region of £2million and was a regular during the first half of the campaign, until suffering a thigh injury in a 2-2 draw at Huddersfield Town in December.

Aside from a stoppage time cameo appearance in April's return fixture against the Terriers, the 26-year-old failed to register any further appearances in his debut campaign at the Reebok Stadium - making 18 in total.

The former Reading defender appears to have fallen behind David Wheater and Tim Ream in the pecking order, while a sale could also provide Dougie Freedman with the necessary funds to finance a move for West Bromwich Albion's Craig Dawson.

It is understood a fee of £1million could prompt a sale and a move to Elland Road would see Mills link up with Brian McDermott, who he previously worked with at Reading.
