Hide AdLeeds had initially hoped to unveil Saiz on Tuesday but the move was delayed while the club ironed out a handful of remaining issues.
Saiz, a former Real Madrid trainee, starred in the Spanish second division last season, scoring 12 times from midfield to help Huesca to the play-offs.
He will fly with Thomas Christiansen’s squad for their pre-season tour of Austria tomorrow and his arrival looks set to be followed by a deal for Lugano winger Ezgjan Alioski.
Leeds have been targeting Alioski for the past month and sources close to the Macedonia winger expect him to undergo a medical with United in the next 24 hours.
