Barnsley have signed 23-year-old Spanish midfielder Diego Leon from Switzerland’s Grasshoppers, according to the Zurich club’s website.
Leon joins the South Yorkshire side “effective immediately,” the site reports. A one-time product of Real Madrid’s youth system, he played for Arminia Bielefeld in Germany before signing with the Swiss club at the start of last season. After a decent year during which he scored three times in 23 appearances, he was relegated to the bench this season, playing only sporadically as a reserve.
