Championship side Leeds United announce the signing of 22-year-old Everton defender Matthew Pennington on a season-long loan.

Leeds United have confirmed the signing of Everton defender Matthew Pennington on a season-long loan.

The 22-year-old has made nine first-team appearances for the Toffees since coming through their academy, and scored in the Merseyside derby in April.

Pennington, a centre-back, has previously spent time on loan in League One, playing for Tranmere Rovers, Coventry City and Walsall, racking up a total of 47 appearances.

Leeds confirmed in a statement on their website: "Pennington has linked up with the Leeds squad in Austria and could make his debut in Thursday's friendly with Borussia Monchengladbach."

Pennington is the Elland Road club's 10th summer signing, following the arrivals of Samuel Saiz, Ezgjan Alioski, Vurnon Anita, Caleb Ekuban, Madger Gomes, Matuesz Klich, Hadi Sacko, Felix Wiedwald and Pontus Jansson.
