Leeds United confirm the arrival of striker Marcus Antonsson from Swedish side Kalmar FF on a three-year contract for an undisclosed fee.

Leeds United have announced the signing of Marcus Antonsson from Kalmar FF on a three-year deal.

The 25-year-old moves to Elland Road for an undisclosed fee having hit 10 goals in the opening 12 matches of the Swedish league season.

The striker becomes the club's first signing of the summer and also Garry Monk's first arrival since taking over as manager.

"It feels fantastic to be here. Ever since Leeds came into the picture, it seemed like the perfect choice. I wanted this move as soon as Leeds contacted me," Antonsson told the club's official website.

"Playing in England has been a big dream of mine. Coming to a big club like Leeds is a dream come true and I will work very hard for the team in every game. I will not miss this opportunity."

Monk added: "It's great to make that first signing. In terms of how he plays, Marcus is a different striker to what we've got already, so that gives us options up front.

"He's done exceptionally well over the last couple of seasons. He scores goals, has great movement and he has the mentality to be able to adapt to this league. The club has watched a lot of him, I've watched a lot of him and I felt he'd be a good fit for Leeds United.

"Marcus will come into the group with some really good strikers in the squad already. It will help them and it will give us options to adapt in different games."

Antonsson could make his competitive debut for the club when they take on Queens Park Rangers in their first game of the new Championship season on August 7.
