According to various media reports emanating out of England, Michael Zetterer is on the verge of a move to Leeds United.

Both The Athletic and Sky Sports suggest that negotiations with Eintracht Frankfurt are already at an advanced stage.

The 31-year-old has been keen to leave the Hessen club for some time after losing his status as first choice shot-stopper.

At Leeds, however, Zetterer would be a backup behind James Trafford, who arrived from Manchester City for a €47million fee.

Ultimately, two conditions still need to be met for the deal to go through between the Bundesliga and Premier League sides.

Freiburg's Noah Atubolu is their preferred candidate. Meanwhile, Leeds is still looking to offload 28-year-old Lucas Perri.
