Leeds United have reportedly ‘already signed’ £7million rated striker Matej Vydra from Burnley ahead of a January move according to Mondo Udinese.

It has been claimed that Vydra has agreed to a transfer to the Elland Road club with him having struggled to break into the Burnley team so far this season.

Vydra has found himself down the pecking order behind Ashley Barnes, Chris Wood and Jay Rodriguez and a move to the Championship giants appears to be on the cards.

The Czech international joined Burnley from Derby County in the summer of 2018 but has failed to establish himself in Sean Dyche’s side and could now move to Leeds in order to be a possible replacement should Eddie Nketiah be recalled by parent club Arsenal which has been speculated in recent weeks.

Vydra has only managed 22 appearances for the Turf Moor club and netted one goal in what has been a rather unhappy spell for the 27-year-old.

Vydra is no stranger to football in the second tier with him having enjoyed spells at Watford, Reading and Derby County.

Marco Bielsa’s side will reportedly complete a £7million move for Vydra in January as they look to push for promotion this year having failed to make it into the top flight last season.

Leeds have somewhat struggled in front of goal so far this campaign with both Bamford and Nketiah having failed to find the net on a consistent basis and the addition of Vydra could be the answer that Bielsa is looking for.
