Leeds United’s new signing Josuha Guilavogui says he will be “the happiest man in the world” if he can help Daniel Farke’s side “achieve their goals” this season, after joining the club on a free transfer.

The former Wolfsburg midfielder made his debut for the club in the 3-0 win over Plymouth Argyle at Elland Road and told BBC Radio Leeds about his experience after the game.

“Everything was perfect: we won 3-0 and kept a clean sheet,” he said. “I came in, but our young players also came in. I’m 34 years old and I’m playing for Leeds for the first time and I’m playing with 18-year-olds.

“I also remember my first game, so I don’t want to be happy just for myself but also for them. I hope it’s the first of many more to come for them.”

Leeds United manager Daniel Farke already has plenty of midfielders in his squad, but Guilavogui says he “knows his role” and will “give everything” for the team when necessary.

“When everyone is fit, the best players will play,” he added. “I’m here to help, even if I can only give one percent and we can achieve our goals, I will be the happiest man in the world.

“I know my role. I am 34 years old and I look at our younger players, but if the coach needs me, I will give my all.

“I am a professional and I love my job. I am doing the best job in the world so, in training, I will always try to give my best.

“The coach knows that if he needs me for five, 10 or 50 minutes in a game, I will always be there and very happy to do it.”
