Leeds United have announced that they have agreed to sign French midfielder Bruno Semedo on a permanent deal from Sporting Lisbon.
The 29-year-old has been a key player for the Portuguese club in recent seasons, helping them to reach the final of the Europa League last year and winning the domestic cup twice in three years.
However, he was unable to break into the team regularly at Sporting and is now set to join Leeds permanently after spending time on loan with the club during the season.
The signing of Semedo will be seen as a major boost for Leeds, who were relegated from the Premier League last season but have since made some significant signings.
The addition of Semedo will give them added depth and experience in midfield, while also providing competition for places in the squad.
It remains to be seen how well he will fit into the system under new manager Marcelo Bielsa, but his arrival should provide a much-needed injection of quality to the side.
Overall, it seems likely that Semedo's move to Leeds will prove to be a successful one, and could help the club to make a strong start to life back in the top flight.
