Former Belgium youth international De Bock has joined Leeds for a fee in the region of £1.5m following five successful years with Brugge who are currently top of the Belgian Jupiler Pro League.

De Bock helped Brugge win the title in 2016 with the defender’s side also lifting the Belgian Super cup the same year, one season after winning the Belgian Cup.

The 25-year-old could now make his United debut in Saturday’s Championship clash at Ipswich Town and the defender is hoping that further silverware can follow at Leeds. De Bock told LUTV: “I won two cups in Belgium and the league title with Club Brugge for the first time in 11 years.

“It was a big thing to win and I hope to win a lot here as well.

“I’m very happy to be here and it feels like the next step in my career.”

United further bolstered their ranks yesterday afternoon when announcing that forward Oliver Sarkic had turned his half-season loan from Benfica into a permanent deal.

Sarkic has been a regular for United’s under-23s this term and the Montenegro youth international has now signed a deal with Leeds until June 2020 with United having the option to extend by a further year.
