"There is lots to like about Leif," said McKenna to Suffolk News.

"We spoke last season about a big focus on our recruitment was looking for hungry, young athletic and highly technical player and I think he ticks all four of those boxes.

"He is a player who can have a big impact for us now as a really attacking left-back, but also a player who can grow and develop with us in the future.

"He is someone who has the potential to player higher and obviously wants to play higher in his career."

Pressed on whether Davis could play in this weekend's season opener against Bolton, McKenna revealed: "He is ready to make an impact straight away. He looks fit.

"He has played in four of Leeds' pre-season friendlies, so he is fit and ready and available for selection."
