“It is a huge opportunity and hopefully I get to utilise my opportunity and do better for the club, represent the club and be part of the great things they set out to achieve.

“Leeds is a great club. I know they have got like tons of history and I heard about some players like Tony Yeboah from Ghana who scored lots of goals, so I know they are a good club.
