Leeds have agreed a £5million fee for left-back Barry Douglas after launching a shock bid to sign him from Wolves and would be a great signing if Leeds pull it off.
Douglas’ contract at Wolves expires next summer. Wolves are believed to be in the process of bringing in another left-back and it’s clear to see how Douglas would fit Bielsa’s system.

About Barry Douglas –
Barry Douglas has proved a brilliant signing for Wolves, providing 15 assists in a successful first season in English football.
The Scottish left-back moved to English when he switched Konyaspor for Wolves for an undisclosed fee in 2017.
The defender agreed a two-year deal with the option of a further 12 months at Molineux, after spending 18 months playing out in Turkey.
He began his career with Queen’s Park, before signing professional terms for the first time at Dundee United in 2010.
Three solid years saw Douglas tie up a move to Lech Poznan is Poland, where he went on to win the league title and Polish Supercup, as well as play in the Champions League.
Then came another change of country, as Douglas moved to Konyaspor in Poland, where he remained before returning to the UK four years after he left.
He quickly settled into life at Molineux, making his debut on the opening day against Middlesbrough and netting his first goal at Derby County a week later.

Barry Douglas would also be the best type of player / wing back for Tom Pearce to learn from. Could massively aid his development! #LUFC

Douglas would be a great signing. Best left wing back in the championship last season, delivery is excellent, assists and a few goals. Surprised Wolves would let him go, was interested to see how he would do in the Prem. #lufc

Barry Douglas would be an absolutely ridiculous signing! 5 goals and 14 assists last season – have already drafted him into my #FPL side so causes me some issues there 😅 #LUFC

This would be a quality signing, Douglas quality from what I saw of him last season for Wolves, he was their best player when they came to Elland Rd and beat us last season. I hope this comes off!!! #LUFC https://t.co/JWXHrdZcjz
