  WHAT HAPPENED?

  Leeds have secured the services of the 27-year-old in what is their tenth signing of the summer transfer window. The full-back, who has one England cap to his name, will now try and keep the Whites in the Premier League this season after his £10 million ($13.5m) transfer.

  WHAT JUSTIN SAID

  He told the club's website: “Obviously to join a club of this size and to have the history it has had, and being back in the Premier League was a massive thing for me, so I'm over the moon to have joined. It's been a while since I've known of the interest, but obviously I was still a Leicester player, so I had to give my all for Leicester whilst I was there. That's something obviously that you can expect from me when I put on a Leeds shirt, is to give my all when I'm on the pitch. But for it to finally have happened, it’s taken a weight off my shoulders for sure. Everyone that I've spoken to about the club and the area has had great things to say about it. So I'm excited to join the lads and get to work."

• THE BIGGER PICTURE

  After left-back Junior Firpo departed Leeds earlier this year, the versatile defender will add more competition in Daniel Farke's backline. He now joins Anton Stach, Noah Okafor, Jaka Bijol, Lucas Perri, Sean Longstaff, Gabriel Gudmundsson, Sebastiaan Bornauw, Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Lukas Nmecha as Leeds' transfer window recruits.
