Leeds United have confirmed the signing of striker Mikael Forssell until the end of the season.

The former Chelsea and Birmingham City striker had recently been training with the Championship side due to his status as a free agent.

"Mikael has been training with us for a few weeks now and we have seen what he is all about," said manager Simon Grayson.

"He has shown his qualities and we know what he will bring.

"He is hungry and has a desire, and he will be a welcome addition to our squad."

Leeds currently sit 19th in the Championship and host sixth-placed Crystal Palace on Saturday.
