Whites boss sniffs out Skunk switch

The 22-year-old Ivorian, nicknamed 'The Skunk' because of his hairstyle, has put pen to paper on a two-and-a-half-year deal at Elland Road after passing a medical. The two clubs had agreed an undisclosed fee on Saturday. Gradel has made a total of 16 appearances for Leeds, mainly from the substitutes' bench, since arriving on loan from the Walkers Stadium in October. The winger's arrival is a boost for the Whites as they look to get their league form back on track after a draw and defeat in their last two matches against Wycombe and Exeter.
