Supporters are delighted with Leeds United's business in the transfer market in January, after announcing the arrival of Weston McKennie from Serie A giants Juventus.
Leeds United have revealed that McKennie will join on loan until the end of the season from Juventus with an option to buy.
Reports in the Italian media suggest Leeds have paid a fraction over £1m to bring the 24-year-old in on loan, with an agreement to pay a further £29m to make it permanent. Add-ons would, reportedly, make it a £35m total package.
McKennie, who has been capped 41 times by the United States, will join his fellow international teammates Tyler Adams and Brenden Aaronson at Elland Road.
The midfielder becomes the third American to join the Whites since Jesse Marsch succeeded Marcelo Bielsa as Leeds manager last year, and the club's third signing of the January window after Max Wober and Georginio Rutter.

The 24-year-old started his career at FC Schalke, and helped propel the Royal Blues to a runners-up finish in the Bundesliga in 2017-18.
He joined Juventus on an initial loan deal in 2020, before signing on a permanent basis the following year. The USA midfielder scored eight goals in 65 appearances for Juve, and won two major trophies for the Italian giants.
Here is how Leeds United fans have been reacting on social media to Weston McKennie's arrival at the club...
