Granddi Ngoyi: Joined Leeds until the end 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.

He has represented France at Under-19 and Under-20 level and is also eligible to play for DR Congo through both his parents.
