Sol Bamba 'signs permanent Leeds United contract'

Leeds United have reportedly signed defender Sol Bamba from Palermo on a permanent basis.

The Ivory Coast international is believed to have signed a two-year contract at Elland Road, according to The Mirror.

Bamba spent last season on loan at the Championship club, making 19 appearances for the Whites.

The 30-year-old is Leeds's third summer signing following the arrival of goalkeeper Charlie Horton from Cardiff City and striker Lee Erwin from Motherwell.
