The 28-year-old arrives at Elland Road on a two-and-a-half year deal and has reportedly cost Leeds a initial fee of just under £600,000.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
And the uncapped Frenchman admits to move was a no brainer, despite also attracting interest from Scottish Championship side Rangers.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But Steve Evans has won the race for Diagouraga, who Rangers boss Mark Warburton managed dring his time at Griffin Park.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
 </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Diagouraga said on the move: “It came about very fast. Once I was aware Leeds were interested and a bid had been accepted, I came straight up here and made it happen. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“It was a difficult decision to leave Brentford but I felt the time was right for me to take on a new challenge. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“It’s a massive club with a massive fan base. It’s a club that belongs in the Premier League and one that should really be fighting for promotion. </div>

“I’ve played here against Leeds a few times. Every time you come you see the stadium and the supporters and you know it’s a massive club. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“I’m sure most players would love to play in a stadium like this. It brings big expectations, but if you can’t handle that, then you shouldn’t be here.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Leeds currently sit four points and six places below Brentford in the Championship standings.</div>
