Leeds United have completed the signing of Macedonian International Attacker, Ezgjan Alioski from FC Lugano, according to Leeds United’s official website.
The Macedonian international has signed for an undisclosed fee and has agreed a 4-year-deal with the West Yorkshire promotion hopefuls. This will keep Alioski at Elland Road until 2021.
This has been one of the most eagerly anticipated signings for Leeds United. The fans will be even more pleased they’ve managed to finally get the deal over the line as, at one point, there were some serious worries amongst the Leeds United faithful that this one might not actually happen.
Now Alioski has signed for Leeds, he will join up with the rest of the squad as they prepare for the upcoming Championship campaign. He could even make his debut very soon, as early has Sunday even, as Leeds are playing a friendly against German Bundesliga 2 side, FC Ingolstadt, as part of their pre-season tour of Austria.
With this being one of Leeds United’s biggest summer acquisitions, of course, there’s bound to be a lot of Media reaction. So here’s how the wonderful world of Twitter reacted to the breaking news…
