Leeds United have been given permission to speak to Jamaican midfielder Rodolph Austin after having a bid accepted by SK Brann.

Leeds manager Neil Warnock has been linked with the 27-year-old in the past, and Brann have revealed that Austin might now have a chance to work with him.

"We agreed with Leeds on the conditions for a transfer on Sunday night," Brann's sporting director Rolf Magne Walstad told the club's official website.

"Rudy has given a wonderful effort for Brann for several seasons and we think it is right that he should have this opportunity now."

Austin has 43 caps for Jamaica.
