Sebastiaan Bornauw says he will bring an aggression to Leeds United after completing a move from Wolfsburg for a fee in the region of £5.1m.

The 26-year-old is the third signing made by Leeds since their return to the Premier League following the arrivals of Lukas Nmecha and Jaka Bijol.

BBC Radio Leeds revealed in recent weeks that the club hope to sign players with physical presence in a bid to remain tight defensively in the Premier League.

"I'm quite an aggressive defender, I would say," Bornauw told the club's website.

"I'm strong. I like duels and I think that's pretty English. I think as a centre-back, I'm dangerous in front of the goal, I like set pieces, offensive set pieces. So that's what I think my game is, I would say.

"I'm really pleased to be here, it's an amazing club.

"The Premier League was always my dream, and then to play for such a big club in England and in Europe, it's a dream come true.

"I think the Premier League for me is the biggest league in the world. Obviously, Germany is a really strong league too, but I think as a football player, we aim for the highest and I think the Premier League is the highest for me."
