🚨 Leeds confirm Udinese defender as first summer signing | OneFootball

Leeds have announced the signing of centre-back Jaka Bijol from Serie A side Udinese.

Bijol made 95 appearances for Udinese before joining Leeds for a reported fee of around £18,7m (€22m).

The Slovenian defender also had spells with German side Hannover 96 and CSKA Moscow after coming through the youth ranks at Rudar Velenje.

He is likely to provide competition for the Whites' starting centre back pairing of Joe Rondon and Pascal Struijk.

Bijol is Leeds' first summer signing following their return to the Premier League ahead of the 2025/26 campaign.
