Leeds United owner Andrea Radrizzani has issued a message to Hoffenheim thanking them for helping finalise Georginio Rutter's move to Elland Road.
Rutter has penned a five-and-a-half-year deal with the Whites for a fee in the region of an initial £30million, with add-ons expected to increase the deal to £35 million.
The Frenchman becomes Leeds' second signing of the January transfer window, after Max Wober arrived from Red Bull Salzburg earlier this month.

Hoffenheim have been very open throughout proceedings regarding the Rutter deal, and Radrizzani has paid credit to the Bundesliga outfit for their cooperation.
Radrizzani wrote on Twitter: "Hoffenheim, thank you for your management, great effort and cooperation to facilitate the deal. All the best for the rest of the season."
Rutter has been Jesse Marsch's main target during the January transfer window, and has scored 11 goals in 64 appearances for Hoffenheim, after arriving from Stade Rennes in 2021.
