Leeds have made their 15th summer signing after finalising the season-long loan signing of Paraguayan forward Brian Montenegro.

The 21-year-old striker, who can also operate as a winger, joined Paraguayan top-flight side Nacional last month from Libertad, but could complete a permanent move to Elland Road in the summer.

"We can confirm the season-long loan signing of Brian Montenegro, subject to international clearance," Leeds said on their official Twitter site.

"The deal to bring Montenegro to Elland Road also includes the option to make his move permanent should he have a successful loan spell."

Montenegro had an unsuccessful loan stint at West Ham during the 2011-12 season.
