The transfer for the 23-year-old is worth up to 34m (40m), which makes it the second biggest in Leeds' history behind Georginio Rutter's 35.5m signing from Hoffenheim in January 2023.

Rose confident he can keep hold of Bournemouth trio
New Bournemouth boss Marco Rose is confident he can keep hold of highly-rated trio Junior Kroupi, Alex Scott and Rayan ahead of the clubs first European campaign.
So far, its not a challenge for me, to be honest, said the former Borussia Dortmund and RB Leipzig head coach.
The first four days, we are in touch and my feeling is that the boys are feeling really good here.
Kroupi made great improvement last season, so I think for him theres no ceiling. Even he knows that hes in a good place to improve. Hes playing in Europe, hell have many games and hes playing in the most competitive and intensive league in the world.
So far I dont have the feeling that anyone is trying to leave the club.
Rose plans to hold in depth individual talks with his squad during next weeks pre-season training camp in Austria.
Scott, who missed out on Englands World Cup squad after being included on a provisional 55-man list, has only two years remaining on his contract and has been linked with Manchester United.
I think Alex knows what he has with this club, and its always about the right moment to do the next step, said Rose, who hopes to strengthen his squad before the transfer window closes.
Because if you are a young player and you do steps and nowadays it happens many times too fast, too quick, then its getting difficult.
The club is doing a lot of things to show the players that they are in the right place.
