LEEDS have reportedly agreed personal terms with Juventus midfielder Weston McKennie.
The 24-year-old has also caught the eye of Arsenal, who are targeting more cover in midfield.
Gunners boss Mikel Arteta revealed the league leaders want to bring someone in before the deadline after an injury to Mohamed Elneny.
But it's Leeds who appear to be in pole position for his signature after positive discussions with Juventus on Thursday.
Talks between the two clubs will continue today, according to Fabrizio Romano.

The Premier League club are keen to get the deal over the line after agreeing personal terms with the USA international.
And Sky Sports claim Leeds are ready to pay £25million plus add-ons for McKennie.
Juve, recently docked 15-points over a transfer scam, value McKennie at £30m.
A move to Elland Road would see McKennie link up with his US team-mates Tyler Adams and Brenden Aaronson, as well as American boss Marsch.
The midfielder joined Juventus on loan from Schalke in 2020 before his move became permanent a year later.
