The 22-year-old Sloth will be joining the English Football League Championship squad which is currently struggling with 1 win against 3 losses in 4 matches so far. The attacking midfielder made five league goals in 31 games for AGF Aarhus in the 2013-2014 season.
Sloth reportedly signed for a £600,000 deal with Leeds and will use the No. 33 jersey for the 2014-2015 season. Even at a young age, Sloth, who is from Aarhus, Denmark, is considered one of the best players for his country making the national team debut in November 2012.
