Nicky Ajose thrilled by Leeds United switch

New Leeds United signing Nicky Ajose has described his move to the club as "fantastic".

The striker joined Leeds from Peterborough United on Tuesday on a three-year deal.

The 22-year-old, who scored 13 goals last season, is now eager to start his career at Elland Road.

"It's fantastic. It's been in the offing for a few days now and I'm delighted that it is done and I can't wait to get started," he told the club's official website.

"The process has been really fast. I heard about the interest on Sunday morning and a deal was agreed with Peterborough and I signed on Tuesday so it was that quick.

"This is the biggest club in the Championship for me. And it is one of the biggest clubs in England."

Leeds start their Championship campaign on Saturday when they make the trip to Millwall.
