Leeds sign Nico Elvedi from Borussia Monchengladbach

Leeds United have completed the signing of defender Nico Elvedi from Borussia Monchengladbach in an £8.5m deal.

The Swiss international, 29, will reunite with Whites boss Daniel Farke, who managed the Bundesliga side in 2022-23.

Borussia Monchengladbach have accepted an offer worth an initial £6.8m, with a further £1.7m in add-ons.

Elvedi spent 11 years with Monchengladbach, making 364 appearances for the German club.

He has earned 73 caps for his native Switzerland, playing every minute of their recent run to the quarter-finals of the World Cup.

Elvedi is Leeds‘ fourth signing of the summer transfer window, following James Trafford, Harry Wilson and fellow defender Tarik Muharemovic.

His arrival at the club allowed Sebastiaan Bornauw to leave Elland Road and sign for Hamburg on a season-long loan.

Earlier on Wednesday, striker Joel Piroe joined West Ham on a season-long loan.

Leeds begin their Premier League campaign with a trip to Nottingham Forest on Saturday (15:00 BST).
