Leeds United fans were given a surprise on Tuesday when the club announced the arrival of a former Liverpool player.

It was not an addition to Thomas Christiansen's first team, but rather to the development squad.

Twenty-year-old Madger Gomes has signed a three-year contract at Elland Road after being released by the Reds.

The Spaniard will go straight into the Under-23s, but on Leeds' official website, the club stated that they hope to eventually integrate him into first-team training.

Since Andrea Radrizzani took full control of the Championship outfit, the club have moved quickly to bring in new recruits.

Christiansen was not the obvious choice as Garry Monk's replacement, but he has pleased fans with the arrival of Polish midfielder Mateusz Klich.

While Gomes is unlikely to become a first-team regular any time soon, his arrival from Liverpool signifies that Leeds are attempting to improve their development side.

Fans reacted to the news of the youngster's signing on Twitter, and many were surprised by the signing.
