Leeds United have confirmed the signing of AC Milan youngster Zan Benedicic on a season-long loan.
The Championship club also has the option to buy the 18-year-old attacking midfielder when the deal expires next summer.
Benedicic, who is yet to play a senior game for Milan, has won five caps for Slovenia's Under-21 team.
"Zan is a versatile, strong and technical midfield player. He has massive potential and comes highly recommended by AC Milan," Leeds boss David Hockaday told the club's official website.
Leeds begin the new Championship season on Saturday when they travel to Millwall.
