Leeds United are on the verge of confirming Georginio Rutter’s exit.
The former Hoffenheim striker has passed his medical with Brighton and Hove Albion ahead of a £40 million transfer.
Sky Sports Germany’s Florian Plettenberg recently claimed the Leeds United forward will be unveiled as a new Seagull after successfully passing a medical and penning a long-term deal.
The Whites will receive a transfer fee worth just over £40 million after Fabian Hurzeler’s side triggered the 22-year-old’s minimum release clause.
Rutter’s exit marks Leeds’ 14th first-team departure this summer. The Frenchman’s £42.5 million sale will eclipse Archie Gray’s £30 million move to Spurs.
