England U21 international Matt Grimes has joined Leeds on a season-long loan from Swansea.
The move sees the 20-year-old reunited with former Swansea manager Garry Monk and his assistant Pep Clotet at Elland Road.
Grimes, capped three times at U21 level, spent last season on loan at Blackburn and has been allowed to leave the Swans once again on a temporary basis.
"It's a great feeling," Grimes told the official Leeds United website. "This was a no-brainer for me - it's such a big club and we're looking to have a really strong season.
"I'm really excited to come here and play football - that's the aim for me this season. Coming here gives me a really good chance to do that at a high level.
"Garry Monk and Pep Clotet were really good to me when I was at Swansea. They helped me a lot and nurtured me when I was a young player coming through, so it will be great to work with them again.
"I'm really looking forward to getting going. I can't wait to get to Ireland, start training and get some games under my belt - which is what pre-season is all about."
Grimes becomes the second Swansea player to join Leeds this summer following the signing of Kyle Bartley, who also arrived on a season-long loan.
