Leeds United are pleased to confirm the signing of Oliver Sarkic from Portuguese ﻿outfit Benfica for an undisclosed fee.

Sarkic initially joined the club over the summer on loan, but the Whites have now made the deal permanent.

The 20-year-old, who has been capped at various youth levels by Montenegro, has put pen to paper on a deal until June 2020 and the club has the option to extend this by a further year.

Sarkic has been a regular in Carlos Corberan’s Under-23 side this season and celebrated signing for the Whites, by netting a penalty in Thursday’s 4-3 victory over Hull City at Thorp Arch.
