Gudmundsson put pen-to-paper on a four-year deal at Elland Road on Tuesday afternoon after Leeds had agreed a fee believed to be worth around £10 million with French club Lille as the Swedish international left-back became Farke’s fourth summer addition. With just under a month to until the defender gets a first-hand experience of playing in front of the Elland Road faithful, he revealed he had already received a ‘good sign’ from Whites supporters during a post-season holiday to Crete.

He told the club’s official YouTube channel: “My friends and family told me the fanbase is huge. Obviously, I know that and also the stadium here is unbelievable with the fans shouting. I have a good story when I heard about the Leeds interest. Me and my girlfriend were were at the hotel in Crete relaxing after the season and I saw there were some people wearing Leeds shirts - so that was a good sign.

“There is a good reputation around the world of Leeds fans and the stadium so I am looking forward to it. I saw that (the Championship title celebrations) on social media a lot, amazing. I hope i’ll be part of that but in the Premier League. I’m up to the challenges and I am really looking forward to playing here in front of all of the fans and with my team-mates.”
