Leeds United have signed AC Milan midfielder Zan Benedicic on a season-long loan deal.

The 18-year-old Slovenia youth international is yet to make his debut for the Serie A side.

He is the fifth player from Italy to join Leeds this summer, after goalkeeper Marco Silvestri, defender Gaetano Berardi, midfielder Tommaso Bianchi and striker Souleymane Doukara.

Leeds start the Championship season with a trip to Millwall on Saturday.
