Leeds United have completed the signing of Markus Antonsson from Kalmar FF on a three-year deal, according to the club’s official website.
Tuesday 28th June 2016
The forward was hot on the radar for a number of Championship clubs, including Aston Villa, however the striker has opted to join Gary Monk’s squad for an undisclosed fee.
Antonsson has scored 22 goals in 40 league games for the top-flight Swedish club and will bolster the White’s attacking options.
It is thought that Antonsson was drawn to the Yorkshire club by their enormous reputation and ambitions to return to the top-flight after a lengthy absence.
The striker is the Championship club’s first signing of the summer and this will only be the beginning of a busy summer ahead for Leeds United, as they begin a new era under Gary Monk.
The 25 year old forward will make his first team debut when Leeds United take on QPR on the 7th August.
