Soccer: Dacourt completes transfer

French midfielder Olivier Dacourt completed his transfer from Leeds United to AS Roma yesterday after passing a medical test in the Italian capital, the Serie A club said.

Roma said Dacourt had signed on loan until the end of this season, after which they had the option for permanence for an agreed transfer fee of £4 million ($12.2 million).

He becomes the second Leeds midfielder to leave the Yorkshire club this week after Lee Bowyer's switch to West Ham United.
