Leeds United have agreed a deal worth around £10 million with Leicester City for the transfer of James Justin, according to the Daily Telegraph journalist Mike McGrath.
Leeds want to strengthen at the back at the Elland Road club, and the one-cap England international has been on their radar all summer.
Justin is having his medical at Thorp Arch ahead of joining the Whites, and the 27-year-old is expected to become their tenth signing since their return to the Premier League.

Leeds manager Daniel Farke watched on helplessly on Saturday as Arsenal demolished his side 5-0 at Emirates Stadium to hand them a reality check.
The addition of Justin will not stop them from suffering similar defeats going forward, but his imminent arrival will come in handy.
However, the versatile Leicester full-back brings much-needed experience to the table at the back and could be a great influence in the dressing room.
Justin played 36 Premier League games last term, weighing in with two goals and two assists, and Leeds need his attacking and defensive qualities.
