Leeds sign Belgium defender Bornauw from Wolfsburg

Sebastiaan Bornauw has been signed by Leeds for a four-year contract worth £5.1 million.

The 26-year-old is Leeds’ third signing since Lukas Nmecha and Jaka Bijol joined the Premier League.

Junior Firpo, a left-back at Leeds, announced earlier on Tuesday that he had left the club at the end of his contract, and that he was set to join Real Betis.

Bornauw, who has four Belgium caps, made the move from Anderlecht to Cologne in Germany in 2019 before joining Wolfsburg in the Champions League.

The 6’3″ centre-back scored twice in 15 Bundesliga games between the years of injury and the 2024-2005 season.
