AC Milan beat Leeds to signing De Ketelaere

AC Milan have signed Belgium international Charles De Ketelaere from Club Brugge in a £29.3m deal.

The 21-year-old attacking midfielder has signed a five-year deal with the Italian champions.

Leeds were in the race for the 21-year-old attacking midfielder and made a higher offer than Milan, according to Sky in Italy, but the player’s wish to move to Italy proved decisive.
