Leeds United have signed Colombia winger Luis Sinisterra from Dutch club Feyenoord.

The 23-year-old has signed a five-year contract at Elland Road in a deal reportedly worth £21m., external

Sinisterra scored 23 goals and registered 14 assists in 49 appearances for Feyenoord last season.

He helped the club reach the Europa Conference League final, with the Eredivisie side missing out on winning the trophy after a defeat by Roma.

However, Sinisterra was named Uefa Europa Conference League Young Player of the Season, having scored six times and registering four assists in the inaugural season of the competition.

He is seen by many as a replacement for Raphinha, who is holding out for a move to Barcelona while Chelsea and Arsenal are also keen on the Brazil winger.

Sinisterra started his career in his homeland with Once Caldas before moving to Feyenoord during summer 2018.

He becomes Leeds United's sixth summer signing with the club having already brought in Brenden Aaronson, Rasmus Kristensen, Marc Roca, Darko Gyabi and Tyler Adams this summer.
