Leeds United are pleased to confirm the signing of Pascal Struijk from Dutch outfit Ajax.

The 18-year-old defender has signed a three-and-a-half year deal with the Whites, running until the summer of 2021.

Struijk started his career with ADO Den Haag, before moving to Ajax and has been capped for the Netherlands at Under-17 level.

The defender will immediately link up with Carlos Corberan’s Under-23 side and could make his debut in Friday’s clash with Birmingham City at Thorp Arch.
