Leeds United manager Jesse Marsch told reporters "don't even bother" asking about the club's transfer business during his Aston Villa pre-match press conference, as speculation continues to grow regarding the imminent arrival of Georginio Rutter.
Rutter is reportedly due to land in West Yorkshire for a medical as early as Thursday evening ahead of a record-breaking deal for the club.
Leeds are thought to have agreed a fee with Hoffenheim of €28million (£24.7m), with add-ons potentially taking the deal to around €40m (£35.3m). The Whites have been eager to sign a striker in the winter window and appear to have bolstered their attack with the addition of the 20-year-old.
