The 31-year-old will officially be announced as a Leeds United player on Tuesday morning when he links up with his new team-mates at Thorp Arch.

Intense media speculation put Pablo’s move in jeopardy but the Club is pleased to have reached an agreement and Pablo would like to thank the fans for their support.
