News broke on Monday morning that Leeds United were close to a deal for Luis Sinisterra of Feyenoord. The 23-year-old winger starred for the Rotterdam side in the Eredivsie, as well as top scoring in the UEFA Conference League as Feyenoord reached the final, before losing 1-0 to Jose Mourinho's Roma.
The Whites hope to conclude the deal quickly in order for the Colombian to join Jesse Marsch' s side ahead of their pre-season tour to Australia. The deal is seen as something of a coup and will cost in the region of around £20million. This could really be seen as a bargain if the comparison the player has made himself is anything to go by.
That's due to the fact that Sinisterra has likened himself to his compatriot and £42million Liverpool signing, Luis Diaz. The Feyenoord winger said:

"We have many conditions in common, we are both players who like to dare, we like one-on-one, we have goals and obviously we have a very good relationship in the national team."
Diaz impressed immediately in the Premier League after his arrival from Porto. Leeds will hope that Sinisterra will be able to do the same for them, given that he will be replacing their primary attacking outlet from 21/22 in Raphinha.
