Leeds have signed German international forward Lukas Nmecha on a two-year-deal.

“I'm really excited, happy. I just can't wait to get going,” said Nmecha to LUTV.
“I've got some people who have been here like Josh who I played with. He told me about the atmosphere, the fans and obviously I have played against Leeds in the Championship.
“It's a massive club and an exciting challenge. I can't wait to play in the Premier League with the team and do well."
"He said it's a massive club, if I get the opportunity then I should definitely do it.”
Asked if Guilavogui had to sell the club much, Nmceha smiled: “I trust Josh. He is probably one of the nicest guys in football that I know.
"He said it's a massive club, if I get the opportunity then I should definitely do it.
"He said the fans are crazy and the boys are good as well so he gave a really good first impression."
