Leeds have broken their transfer record to sign forward Georginio Rutter from Hoffenheim for £35.5m.
The deal comes after negotiations between the two clubs earlier this week, with the move for the France U21 international surpassing the club's previous record transfer fee of £27m paid for Rodrigo from Valencia in August 2020.
Rutter, 20, has signed a five-and-a-half-year contract at Elland Road, with his deal running until the summer of 2028.

He told Sky Sports News: "There's a lot of emotion today. It's an important day. I'm very happy to be here and I'm very excited to start.
"I run and I bring a lot of energy to the pitch. I like dribbling and playing beautifully, scoring goals and getting assists. I hope [I can get the goals that take Leeds up the table]."
Rutter scored twice in 17 games in all competitions for Hoffenheim this season and has an overall record of 11 goals in 64 appearances for the Bundesliga side
