Leeds United owner Andrea Radrizzani has issued a message to Hoffenheim thanking them for helping finalise Georginio Rutter's move to Elland Road.
Rutter has penned a five-and-a-half-year deal with the Whites for a fee in the region of an initial £30million, with add-ons expected to increase the deal to £35 million.
The Frenchman becomes Leeds' second signing of the January transfer window, after Max Wober arrived from Red Bull Salzburg earlier this month.
