DONE DEAL: Leganes sign Real Madrid goalkeeper Andriy Lunin

Leganes have signed Real Madrid goalkeeper Andriy Lunin.

The Ukrainian footballer will wear the number 99 at his new team and Los Blancos confirmed the deal on Monday, publishing the official statement on their website.

"Real Madrid CF and CD Leganes have agreed to the transfer of the player Andriy Lunin for this season, until June 30, 2019," the Spanish giants announced.

This deal falls perfectly in line for the plans Madrid have with the 19-year old shot stopper.

They believe Lunin needs more experience and playing time before he can start featuring regularly in Madrid's matches; therefore, a move to another team will benefit both the club and player.
