Leeds United have announced the signing of left-back Junior Firpo from Barcelona on a four-year contract.
The 24-year-old has reportedly cost the Premier League club £12.8million (€15m) just two years after he joined Barca from Real Betis.
Firpo had scored three goals and provided five assists from 26 chances created in all competitions in his final season at Betis, appearing 29 times.
But he struggled for opportunities at Camp Nou, with Spain international Jordi Alba the clear first choice.
Firpo scored twice and supplied two assists across two seasons for the Blaugrana, with only 22 of his 41 outings coming from the start.
He hailed Leeds boss Marcelo Bielsa as a key factor in his decision to join the club.
I saw him [Bielsa] in Sp…

Last week may have been a fairly quiet one in terms of major new gaming releases, but we did get Luigi’s Mansion 2 HD, and unsurprisingly, it was one of the best-sellers in multiple regions across the world. In addition to the UK, as per Famitsu’s weekly regional charts for hardware and physical software sales, Nintendo’s latest remaster has debuted on top of Japan’s charts as well.
Specifically, the game sold over 88,000 physical units, which is the second lowest start for a Luigi’s Mansion game in Japan, with the lowest being the original game’s 2017 3DS remake (which sold under 30,000 physical units upon release). It is, however, a solid start for what’s a fairly unambitious remaster at the tail end of a co…

The 30-year-old striker, who won the J-League Golden Boot award in 2009 and 2010, is expected to return to Japan on Monday.

We understand they were unable to agree terms, Jubilo president Hiroyuki Yoshino said.
West Ham boss Sam Allardyce admitted after Saturday s 1-0 league win at Portsmouth that he was in the market for a striker in January.
I am looking for another striker because from the chances we created we have not been clinical enough and that has been a problem, Allardyce said.
