Leeds United at risk of losing winger Igor Paixão to Sunderland

Leeds United could lose winger Igor Paixão to Premier League rival Sunderland as transfer talks progress. Sunderland is reportedly close to a verbal agreement on personal terms with Paixão, who currently plays for Olympique de Marseille. The clubs are negotiating a transfer fee, with Leeds having previously shown interest in signing the player during the summer. With the transfer deadline approaching on September 1, Leeds must act swiftly to secure Paixão, whose performance last season in Ligue 1 included 12 goals and 6 assists across 39 matches. Leeds United faces pressure to finalize a deal as Sunderland seeks to capitalize on Marseille's financial difficulties.
