Fans at the club's training ground on Friday were introduced to the 25-year-old Brazilian forward.

Raphinha said it was a dream since he was a child.

I will give my best.

"We would like to place on record our sincere gratitude to Raphinha for his effort and contribution while at the football club," the club statement said.

He showed commitment and professionalism until the very end of his time at Elland Road and his celebrations at the community stadium will live long in the memory.

There is more to come.
