The 20-year-old has ended speculation surrounding his future by signing a new four-year contract - keeping him at Elland Road until the summer of 2027.Following the exits of Max Wober, Robin Koch and Diego Llorente, an extended first-team opportunity has the potential to open up for Cresswell, who played 28 times on loan at Millwall last season.

Cresswell, part of England under-21s' recent victorious European U21 Championship winning squad, said: “I can’t really put into words how proud I am really of where I’ve come from and where I’m at now.

“I’m happy to sign this deal, but I’m not just here to make numbers up. I’m here to play a big part this season and I want to achieve big things in front of the fans and make people around me proud.”
