Tore Andre Flo joins Leeds United. Few years ago , the same headline would have been read - " The pride of Norway joins the pride of England " . Time has had a big impact on both these parties as Flo signs from Valeranga till the end of the season with Wise's men on a free transfer.
The former Norway international will link up with old Chelsea team mate Dennis Wise and Gus Poyet ( Also add former Chelsea Chairman Ken Bates and Chief Scout Gwyn Williams ) and hope to help his compatriots turn the season around for the fallen giants , Leeds United .

Tore Andre Flo is rich in terms of experience of the English game as he has had successful stints with Chelsea ( 34 goals ) and Rangers ( 18 goals ) before moving to Siena ( 13 goals ) where his spell was cut short soon as his wife was unsettled at London. He moved back to his country and signed for Valeranga while his family stayed at London . Now his move to Leeds , brings him closer to his family and also his English roots . If Flo can reproduce half of the impact he had as a Chelsea player in England , Leeds would be making a huge bargain this season.
