Leeds United have clinched the signing of RB Salzburg defender Rasmus Kristensen.

The Dane has agreed a five-year deal and will join the club on 1 July. Kristensen underwent a Leeds medical on Wednesday.

"When I heard about the option to come here [to Leeds] I was really into it," Kristensen told BBC Radio Leeds. "It didn't take a lot to convince me it was a good idea.

"I am just really happy that everything is settled and I can look forward to an exciting season."

Kristensen links up again with his former RB Salzburg boss Jesse Marsch.

He will become the second player to join Leeds from Salzburg this summer after American midfielder Brenden Aaronson's move last month.

"He was the one who brought me to Salzburg from Amsterdam and I needed a bit of a rebuild after a rough time," Kristensen added. "With Jesse, I evolved my game and became a better football player.

"He is a big part of my decision to join here. I fit his style of football, I think."

Kristensen began his career in his native Denmark with FC Midtjylland, helping them become Danish champions in 2017-18.

He won a league and cup double in his one full season at Ajax before joining Red Bull Salzburg, in 2019.
