Leeds United have officially confirmed the signing of Scottish striker Lawrence Shankland, with the forward successfully completing his medical at Thorp Arch earlier today. The prolific Hearts captain was spotted holding his medical results with a thumbs-up at Elland Road, sealing his long-anticipated switch to the Yorkshire club.
The 29-year-old goal machine joins Daniel Farke’s side as they prepare for a fierce push for promotion, bringing with him proven scoring pedigree and leadership qualities. Shankland, who netted 31 goals last season in all competitions, is expected to add firepower and experience to the Leeds front line.
Club insiders revealed that the deal was fast-tracked after glowing scouting reports and a personal endorsement from Farke. Shankland has signed a multi-year contract and is expected to join full preseason training this week.
Fans can expect an official unveiling soon, with Shankland set to make his debut in Leeds’ upcoming pre-season friendlies.
