Leeds United are pleased to confirm the signing of goalkeeper Jamal Blackman on a season-long loan deal.

Blackman joins the club from Premier League side Chelsea and becomes the second signing of the summer transfer window.

The 24-year-old knows the Sky Bet Championship well, having spent last season on loan with fellow Yorkshire outfit Sheffield United.

At Bramall Lane he made a total of 33 appearances in all competitions and kept nine clean sheets.

The 6ft 7in stopper has also had temporary spells away from Stamford Bridge with Ostersunds FK and Wycombe Wanderers, where he was named their Young Player of the Year for the 2016/17 season.

Blackman was an FA Youth Cup winner with Chelsea in 2012 and has been capped by England at various youth levels from Under-16s to Under-19s.

He will now battle it out with fellow Leeds stopper Bailey Peacock-Farrell for the number one shirt at Elland Road for the upcoming season.
