Leeds United have confirmed the signing of midfielder Granddi Ngoyi on loan from Palermo for the rest of the season.

The 26-year-old Frenchman follows team-mate Sol Bamba to Elland Road after the Ivory Coast international defender completed a similar deal on Friday.

Former France Under-21 international Ngoyi, a defensive midfielder, helped Palermo win promotion to Serie A last summer but has made only five appearances for the Italian club this season.

Ngoyi began his career at Paris Saint-Germain, for whom he made 31 appearances, before joining French rivals Troyes in 2012. He moved on to Palermo the following year.
