    Jaka Bijol has 63 international caps for Slovenia. Newly promoted Premier League club Leeds have signed veteran Slovenia defender Jaka Bijol, the club announced on Tuesday.

    Leeds said the 26-year-old centre back signed a five-year deal. The transfer fee paid to Udinese was reportedly around £15 million ($20m).

    Bijol has played 63 times for Slovenia, including all four games at the 2024 European Championship.
