Leeds have signed forward Hadi Sacko from Sporting Lisbon on a season-long loan with a view to a permanent move.

The 22-year-old Frenchman, comfortable in several attacking roles, has joined up with Garry Monk's squad on their pre-season training camp in Ireland.

"We are delighted to announce the signing of Sporting Lisbon winger Hadi Sacko on a season-long loan with a view to a permanent deal," Leeds confirmed on their official website.

Sacko is Monk's third summer signing following the arrivals last week of Swedish striker Marcus Antonsson and defender Kyle Bartley.

The former France Under-20 international began his career at Bordeaux and made the switch to Portugal in 2014 to join Sporting, where he has made over 50 appearances for their B team.
