# Leeds United sign Madger Gomes after his Liverpool release

Championship outfit Leeds United have completed the signing of former Liverpool academy midfielder Madger Gomes, the [Liverpool Echo](https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/liverpool-academy-striker-gomes-signs-13244981) reports.

The 20-year-old Spanish midfielder has put pen to paper on a three-year deal at Elland Road after being released by the Reds this summer.

Upon signing with the Championship club, Gomes said;

> I’m really excited and happy to start life with Leeds United. Hopefully I will get a chance to progress and make the first team.

Gomes is set to initially link up with Leeds Under-23 squad with the potential to train with the first team during pre-season.

Leeds narrowly missed out on a Championship play-off spot last season and will be looking to ensure a top six position next season.

Gomes joined Liverpool’s academy back in 2014 from La Liga side Villareal, but he failed to live up to his potential after suffering from a number of injuries and inconsistent form.
