United close to De Vries switch
Mark De Vries has travelled to Dundee for signing talks
Leicester City striker Mark De Vries is travelling to Tannadice for signing talks with Dundee United.
The 32-year-old, who worked under United manger Craig Levein at Hearts and Leicester, has spent two separate loan spells at Leeds this season.
But a troublesome foot injury has limited his first-team appearances at Elland Road.
The Surinam-born striker, who left Hearts in 2004, has also enjoyed spells at Dutch clubs Den Haag and Heerenveen.
De Vries joined Hearts in May 2002 after signing a pre-contract agreement from Dutch Second Division side Dordrecht '90.
