Flo to Leeds
Afp, London
Tore Andre Flo has linked up with former Chelsea teammates Dennis Wise and Guy Poyet after signing a short-term deal with Championship strugglers Leeds United. The 33-year-old striker has moved to Elland Road from Norwegian side Valerenga until the end of the season. Flo played alongside Leeds's management duo of Wise and Poyet at Chelsea -- when current Elland Road chairman Ken Bates was in charge of the Londoners -- before making a 12.5 million pounds (24.4 million dollars) move to Rangers in July 2001. Other players who joined Leeds on short-term deals Wednesday were Tresor Kandol -- who had been on loan from Barnet -- and Espanyol defender Armando Miguel Correia De Sa, subject to international clearance. Leeds are currently second bottom in the Championship and in danger of being relegated to the third tier of English professional football for the first time in their 88-year history.
