<p>Leeds have announced the signing of Guilavogui on a shock free transfer, with the former France international signing a contract until the end of the season. The 34-year-old left Mainz in July but has now found a home at Elland Road.</p><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">✍️ <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/LUFC?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#LUFC</a> is pleased to confirm the signing of Josuha Guilavogui on a contract until the end of the 2024/25 season</p>— Leeds United (@LUFC) <a href="https://twitter.com/LUFC/status/1849111035468452315?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">October 23, 2024</a></blockquote>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Guilavogui has seven France caps to his name but has not played for his country since a friendly with Denmark in 2015. He is perhaps best known for his time at Wolfsburg, where he made 265 appearances. At Mainz, he played just 12 times.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Guilavogui said: “I have never played in England and I think as a football player this is a really amazing experience and for playing for Leeds, a historic club, this is a wonderful opportunity for me. I am looking forward to training with the team, to help the team on the pitch, outside the pitch as well and hopefully that we set our goals.</p><p>“I had some offers, but nothing that I would say, okay, let’s do it. And when my agent called me and said that Daniel has interest to sign me and watched over me, I said, yeah, let’s go straight, straight to Leeds. Sometimes in life you have some opportunities and you don’t want to miss it. I am really happy to be here.</p><p>“When I spoke with our manager, he knows what I can bring on the pitch and also outside the pitch, because we don’t forget that we have injured players and I am there to help them. And when they will recover, I will also help the young players.</p><p>“That is why I was captain, like everywhere where I played, because I am someone that is always thinking about how can I make my teammates better, how can I improve. I am here for helping the team and I really hope that we will go to the Premier League.”</p>

WHAT GUILAVOGUI SAID

<p>Leeds play Bristol City on Saturday and Guilavogui could potentially make his debut on Saturday. The club are currently second in the Championship. </p>
