On This Day: In 2020, Leeds completed the £17m signing of Brazilian winger Raphinha from Rennes.

So fortunate to have seen him play a part in our history and to watch him develop into one of the best active players thriving on the big stage.

A year ago today, Ao Tanaka joined Leeds on a four-year deal worth £3.5m from Fortuna Dusseldorf.

He was nothing short of magnificent throughout Leeds’ Championship title-winning season, his first in English football.
