Report: Leona lines up £5 million deal

Leona Lewis is reportedly flying to the United States in a bid to land a record deal worth £5 million.

The X Factor winner will meet BMG North America's Chairman Clive Davis next Thursday, according to the Daily Mirror. A source told the paper: "Leona's X Factor prize is peanuts compared to what Clive is offering. When Clive called Simon Cowell, he was talking £5million. Leona and Simon will fly to meet him."

74-year-old Davis, who founded Arista Records, has propelled many singers to global stardom, including Whitney Houston, Alicia Keys and Dido.
