Reports in South America claim Leeds United have tied up a deal for Tottenham Hotspur defender Juan Foyth.
The Whites are rumoured to be long-time admirers of Foyth, who is expected to leave Spurs this summer.
Marcelo Bielsa had monitored Foyth when he was manager at Lille and the defender was coming through the ranks at Estudiantes, but Spurs won the race for his signature.
Yet, three years on, Bielsa finally looks set to get his man.
Argentine sports journalist Nicolas Bozza has claimed on Twitter that Foyth will move to Elland Road on loan from Spurs for next season.
Foyth, who has 10 caps for Argentina, is described by Bozza as being a 'reinforcement' for Leeds.
There has been plenty of speculation over Foyth's future recently, with the centre-back out of favour at Spurs.
It was reported earlier this month that Barcelona and Serie A clubs were also keen on the 22-year-old, who has two years left to run on his contract.
News of a loan deal will be a blow to Foyth's former club Estudiantes, however.

His boyhood side are due a sell-on fee from any money Spurs make from selling the player, along with a solidarity payment.
Yet a loan move would likely see Estudiantes miss out on any further payment.
Last month, Foyth's agent Claudio Curt admitted the player likely does not have a future at Spurs.
He said: "For what has happened in recent times, we don't think [he has a future at Tottenham].
"But we still have a pending talk with Tottenham to clarify the future.
"We don't judge the coach's decisions and we don't get involved in his job, but what's clear is that the club's project with Juan has changed.
"We have a pending chat with Tottenham and for sure the topic will come up.
