Leeds United have completed the loan signing of full-back Melvin Bard from Ligue 1 side Nice, and the Frenchman says the club's stature made the move a straightforward decision.
Speaking after the deal was confirmed, Bard said Leeds' history as a Premier League institution was a major draw. "Leeds is a historic club in the Premier League so it was an easy choice," he said, according to BBC News.
The move brings Bard to Elland Road on an initial loan basis, adding defensive depth to Daniel Farke's squad as they continue life back in the top flight. Further details on the length of the loan or any option to make the deal permanent have not been specified in the report.
