The Whites have already signed Brenden Aaronson, Rasmus Kristensen and Marc Roca this summer. A £20 million deal for RB Leipzig midfielder Tyler Adams is also in place, with his signing set to be announced imminently.
Now, Sinisterra, too, is poised to make his way to Elland Road as Leeds continue to bolster their squad to avoid a similar fate as last season and push for a top-half finish.
