UNITED SEAL STRIKER SIGNING

Edgar Cani arrives on loan from Catania...

Leeds United can confirm the signing of Catania striker Edgar Cani on loan for the remainder of the 2014/15 season, subject to international clearance.

Cani, an Albanian international, becomes United’s third signing of the January transfer window following the arrivals of Sol Bamba and Granddi Ngoyi.

The 25-year-old has featured 14 times for Catania in Serie B this season, scoring three goals for the Italian side.

Cani has spent the majority of his career in Italian football and progressed through the ranks at Pescara before moving to Palermo in 2008.

His three-year stay at Palermo was largely spent out on loan, though, and he departed for Polish outfit Polonia Warsaw in 2011.

It was there where he had his most productive spell in front of goal, scoring 11 times in 31 appearances, before returning to Italy with Catania in 2013.

The striker will wear the number 10 shirt after the Football League permitted Granddi Ngoyi to swap to the vacant number six shirt.
