The Athletic reported that Leeds United have reached an agreement with Leicester City to sign full-back James Justin.

Transfer plan is £8 million basic fee + potential additional terms up to £2 million, and players will undergo Leeds United medical examination as planned.

TA reported earlier this month that 27-year-old Justin is the target candidate for Leeds United to strengthen the right-wing defense. Justin started as captain in the first two Championship games in Leicester City’s new season, but was not on the roster to beat Charlton last week. The Leicester City coach has previously said Justin was absent due to a thigh bruise but may return against Charlton.

During Leicester City's relegation last season, Justin contributed 2 goals and 2 assists in 36 Premier League games. Since joining from Luton in 2019, he has played 169 games for the club and has made one appearance for the England senior team in 2022.
