Leeds United set to sign Belgian star Sebastiaan Bornauw | OneFootball

As reported by the Yorkshire Evening Post, Leeds United are closing in on the signing of centre-back Sebastiaan Bornauw from VfL Wolfsburg.

It is understood that the newly promoted Premier League side have agreed a €6 million fee for the 26-year-old, with a medical set to take place later today.

With one year remaining on Bornauw’s deal at the Volkswagen Arena, it will signal a more than €10 million loss for Wolfsburg, who lured the defender away from fellow Bundesliga outfit FC Köln in the summer of 2021 for a reported €17 million.

Nevertheless, with Die Wölfe looking to complete deals for Sheffield United’s Vinícius Souza, SC Paderborn’s Aaron Zehnter, and Norwich City’s Josh Sargent, any incoming finances will be appreciated.

As for Leeds, Bornauw will offer Daniel Frake’s side a wealth of experience, having represented Belgium at international level, as well as boasting over 140 Bundesliga appearances.

The 26-year-old will also join his former teammate, Lukas Nmecha, at Elland Road, as Leeds look to complete their second Wolfsburg signing of the summer.
