Leeds United are reportedly close to signing Derby County striker Matej Vydra.

Leeds United are reportedly close to signing Derby County striker Matej Vydra in an £11m deal.

The Sun reports that the Rams are prepared to sell the 26-year-old, who could sign a £40,000-a-week deal at Elland Road.

The Czech international scored 21 goals in the Championship last season, leading the Rams to the playoff semi-final stage.

However, newly-appointed Derby manager Frank Lampard has allowed Vydra to leave, having signed striker Jack Marriott from Peterborough United this summer.

Leeds secured season-long loans for midfielder Lewis Baker and goalkeeper Jamal Blackman earlier in the transfer window.
