New signing de Bock is targeting trophies with Leeds United
Former Belgium youth international De Bock has joined Leeds for a fee in the region of £1.5m following five successful years with Brugge who are currently top of the Belgian Jupiler Pro League.
De Bock helped Brugge win the title in 2016 with the defender’s side also lifting the Belgian Super cup the same year, one season after winning the Belgian Cup.

“It was a big thing to win and I hope to win a lot here as well.
“I’m very happy to be here and it feels like the next step in my career.”
United further bolstered their ranks yesterday afternoon when announcing that forward Oliver Sarkic had turned his half-season loan from Benfica into a permanent deal.
