Leeds United are in talks to sign Bradley Johnson after Northampton Town accepted their bid for the winger.
The Elland Road club have made their move for the talented 20-year-old with an offer which is understood to be in the region of £250,000.
Johnson, who is not expected to feature in tomorrow's clash with Leeds at Elland Road regardless of the outcome of contract negotiations today, has attracted the attention of several other clubs and is already believed to have turned down a switch to Colchester United.
Johnson signed a new two-year deal at Sixfields last season and is under contract until 2009, but the surge of interest in his signature had made his departure from Northampton highly likely during the January transfer window.
The ex-Cambridge player has scored five times this season and played in all but one of the Cobblers' matches, and United were hoping to push the transfer closer to competition during talks this afternoon.
