Whites sign Finland international Vayrynen
By Leon Wobschall
LEEDS UNITED have signed Finnish international Mika Vayrynen.
The former PSV Eindhoven player has signed a one year contract with the club with a further year’s option.
The 29-year-old, who has been capped 54 times by Finland, was a free agent after leaving Dutch Eredivisie side Heereenveen in the summer.
Simon Grayson told the club website: “We’re delighted to sign Mika. There were good offers from other clubs on the continent, but has turned them down because of his ambition to play for Leeds and be successful here.
“He can play as an attacking midfielder or as a holding midfielder and he’s delighted to get the opportunity to come her.”
United are desperate to boost their squad options and are also interested in bringing old boy Danny Pugh, able to operate at left-back or on the left-hand side of midfield, back to the club on loan after the 28-year-old utility man was left out of Stoke City’s 25-man squad last week by Potters boss Tony Pulis.
