Leeds United have completed the signing of Raphinha from Rennes in a deal thought to be worth around £20m.
The 23-year-old scored five goals and assisted three more in 22 appearances for the Ligue 1 outfit last season, and has already registered two assists so far this term.
Leeds were rumoured to have agreed terms with the Brazilian earlier on deadline day, and they have now confirmed a four-year deal for the winger which runs until 2024.

Raphinha's arrival takes Leeds' summer spending to almost £100m, including a club-record deal for Rodrigo Moreno and the arrivals of Robin Koch and Diego Llorente.
The forward will wear the number 18 shirt at Elland Road and could make his debut for Leeds against Wolverhampton Wanderers after the international break.
