Earlier, BBC Sports journalist David Ornstein claimed on Twitter that the youngster is likely to join Leeds.
Phil Hay of the Athletic UK added that Bristol City planned for Nketiah to undergo a medical today but it didn’t happen. And now, Leeds are pushing hard to get the Arsenal youngster to take their offer.
Leeds United are desperate to sign a striker in the closing stages of the transfer window as the Whites need to bring in a replacement for Kemar Roofe.
The 26-year-old joined Belgium club Anderlecht this week, and it looks like Nketiah could be his potential replacement at Elland Road.
Leeds are also reportedly working on other deals with the club trying to secure moves for Facundo Colidio and Ryan Nolan.
