Mateusz Klich will sign a three year contract with Leeds United on Friday, report Tubantia in the Netherlands. Tubantia were one of the first with the news this week that Klich’s move to Elland Road was imminent, and after Leeds picked up speed in their chase of the Polish midfielder this one has moved to a conclusion quickly.

FC Twente need to replace Klich, who did well for the Dutch side after a poor period in German football, and they need to do so cheaply. Whilst different amounts have been thrown around as a Leeds United transfer fee, it’s unlikely the actual price will be far over €2m.

But, in true Eredivisie style, Twente’s Klich replacement will cost nothing. The club are working to pick up Haris Vučkić, who sees his Newcastle United contract expire at the end of June.

Rafael Benitez’s side have made no effort to keep Vučkić at St James’ Park, and his Newcastle United adventure, which started in 2009, is coming to an end.

Twente is a good move for Vučkić from Newcastle, and the 24 year old is being seen in the Netherlands as a direct replacement for Leeds-bound Klich.

Update: Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf are backing up Klich signing a three year contract at Leeds United, having already had a medical.
