The 23-year-old arrived on a five-year deal tonight, and will join his team-mates on a pre-season trip to Austria for a training camp this weekend.

A 6ft 4ins centre-back, Greaves was named in the Championship team of the season last term.

And McKenna said: “We are delighted to have brought Jacob to the club and are excited to have him as part of the squad. 

“He is a very talented, technical and athletic left-sided defender who has performed very well in the Championship and is ready to make the step up to the Premier League at this point in his career. 

“We feel this is the right environment and club for him to do that in and he is a good character who will bring qualities to the group and culture we have built here.”
