Leeds have confirmed that Ronaldo Vieira has signed a new four-year contract at Elland Road.

The midfielder made his debut in the final game of last season at Preston and became a mainstay in the Leeds side in the most recent campaign, making 38 appearances in all competitions.

The 18-year-old, who recently won the club's young player of the year award, has now extended his stay, signing a deal until at least the end of the 2020/21 season.

Vieira scored his first goal for Leeds in November as he hit a late winner in the 3-2 victory at Norwich.

His performances for Leeds have earned him a first call-up to England's U20 squad and he is in line to make his international debut later this month in the Toulon Tournament.
