Swansea City will receive around £2m as part of the deal that took Joel Piroe to Leeds United if the Elland Road club win the Championship play-offs.

Leeds signed striker Piroe from Swansea for an undisclosed fee last August.

It is understood the transfer could ultimately be worth more than £10m to Swansea, with a chunk of £2m going to Leeds, who will win promotion back to the Premier League.

Leeds travel to Norwich City in the first leg of their play-off semi-final on Sunday.

Daniel Farke’s side missed out on automatic promotion after a slump in form saw them lose four of their last six games of the regular season.

They eventually finished third, six points behind second-placed Ipswich Town.

If Leeds beat Norwich, they will face either Southampton or West Bromwich Albion in the Championship play-off final on Sunday 26 May.

Dutchman Piroe, who scored 46 goals in two seasons at Swansea, scored 13 times in 46 appearances for Leeds, 32 of which were starts.
