Signs with Leeds United Justin has completed a transfer to Leeds United from Leicester City, according to his new club.

Impact Justin is returning to the Premier League after he followed Leicester back to the Championship following their relegation, with the defender signing a deal with Leeds United. This is a move that will reinforce the defense for the club, picking up a defender who started in 34 of his 36 Premier League matches last season. That said, the defender should be pushing for starting time soon after joining the club, looking to replace Jayden Bogle at right-back.

Notches career-best season Justin recorded two goals, two assists, 57 crosses and 115 clearances in 36 appearances (34 starts) in the Premier League.

Impact Justin was one of the first names on the team sheet for Leicester City throughout the 2024/25 season, and the right-back responded with consistent performances on both sides of the ball every time he stepped on the pitch. He should be a key player for the Foxes if he stays with the club for the 2025/26 Championship season, but it wouldn't be surprising if there's Premier League interest for his services during the summer transfer window.

Key assist in win Justin assisted once to go with one cross (zero accurate) and one chance created in Sunday's 2-0 win over Ipswich Town.

The defender had a busy match, recording three tackles (one successful), three clearances, one block and one interception while trying to subdue the Hammers attacks. The 27-year-old is not known for his offensive skills, with only two goals and one assist on the season, but his defensive work rate makes up for it.

Impact Justin saw a strange day from his right-back spot Sunday, as the defender would see most of his stats in the attack, notching one cross and three shots compared to his one block in the defense. This could be a good sign for the defender, as he has been consistent in the defense but a more attacking presence could raise his value. He still has only missed one game all season, starting in all 18 of his appearances.

Incredible brace in defeat Justin scored two goals to go with three shots (two on goal) in Saturday's 4-2 loss versus Arsenal.

Impact Justin provided his first goal return of the season, scoring a brace that nearly kept his side in the game against Arsenal until added time. His 63rd-minute equaliser was an incredibly special outside-of-the-foot volley that curled into the far corner. This type of goal is difficult to replicate, particularly against top opposition. In fact, before this game, he had only ever scored two goals in his entire Premier League career.

Fails to return to action Justin (Achilles), as expected, was never able to get back onto the pitch for Leicester City this season.

Impact Justin will probably be hard-pressed to be ready for the start of the 2023-24 campaign after undergoing Achilles surgery back in November. Additionally, the fact that he is recovering from a long-term injury and is under contract through 2026, Justin will likely have to remain with Foxes in the second-tier Championship.

Impact Justin gets the worst possible news after he was stretchered off the pitch in Wednesday's win over Newport County. He made 14 starts over the first half of the season, keeping four clean sheets. As he also missed much of the previous campaign with a knee injury a growing body of evidence shows that Justin has been an injury-prone player early in his career. Luke Thomas is one candidate to take over for Justin as the starting-left back over the rest of the season. Unfortunately for Leicester, fellow full-back Ricardo Pereira is also in the middle of his recovery from a ruptured Achilles.
