Leeds United's great start to life in the Premier League continued this afternoon as they edged past old Championship foes Sheffield United this afternoon.

And whilst they were making moves on the pitch, they appear to have been doing the business off it too.

According to the Press Association, the Yorkshire giants have launched a £15m bid to sign Norwich City playmaker Todd Cantwell, although no agreement has yet been reached.

The 22-year-old was absent from the Canaries' matchday squad earlier this afternoon.

It's also claimed that Norwich want add-ons involved in any deal.

During his first-ever season in the top-flight, Cantwell provided six goals and two assists whilst averaging 1.4 tackles, 1.3 dribbles, 1.1 shots and 0.9 key passes per game, via WhoScored.

He could well be a viable alternative to the host of midfield options the Whites have been linked with in recent weeks, namely Udinese's Rodrigo De Paul, Fiorentina's Erick Pulgar and Atalanta's Ruslan Malinovskiy.

Cantwell has drawn plenty of plaudits since his meteoric rise up the Canaries ranks. Danny Murphy once told Match of the Day that he's a "terrific player," adding: "I like his creativity. I like his bravery on the ball. Good awareness of where players are. With and without the ball he does his job."

Whilst former youth coach Gary Cockaday believes the young sensation is a "God-given" talent whilst he's been likened to Spurs' Dele Alli for similar playing styles.

Without Pablo Hernandez, Marcelo Bielsa has been torn between Tyler Roberts and summer signing Rodrigo to play out of position in his absence, thus a player like Cantwell could help fill that void substantially.

He also fits the mould of being a player that can improve tenfold under the Argentine's stewardship - ala Ben White, Robin Koch and many more.

AND in other news, Bielsa may have already found his new Ben White right under his nose...
