The 26-year-old Belgian centre-back joined from Wolfsburg at the start of the month but says a deal was five months in the offing, during which time he did plenty of research into what he was coming into.

"I know quite a lot about Leeds United because I watched for the past five months since I knew of the interest," he revealed. "I tried to watch nearly every game. I would say in the second half of [last] season I watched nearly everything. I was a bit stressed as well, as probably all the fans were.

"I saw the football and I would say they were aggressive defending, the offensive play [was about] dominating the football and nice to watch.
