Caleb Ekuban has left Leeds United to join a Turkish club on loan.
Caleb Ekuban has completed a season-long loan from Leeds United to Trabzonsport in Turkey.
The Italian striker joined Leeds for around £500,000 last summer but managed only one goal in 991 minutes of first-team football for the Whites last term.
In spite of a poor return, Ekuban won hearts of many-a-Whites fan for his industrious and full-blooded performances, even if the goals were lacking.
And some fans of the Elland Road club have wished him good luck after the 24-year-old posted a photo of himself in Trabzonsport colours on Instagram.
Here’s what the Leeds fans wrote in response:
kylejames123123: It’s you’re time to shine mate. ALAW
madjerg26: All the best bro
lancelaa: Good luck Caleb. There’s a good player in there. #alaw
steven.grayson.73: Wish you all the best always seemed nice young man mot
archiee93: Good look Caleb! MOT
Leeds team-mate Mateusz Klich also responded, simply posting: “Good luck bro.”
The writing had been on the wall for Ekuban pretty much all summer.
Leeds were always going to sign at least one big-money striker during the off season, which came in the form of Patrick Bamford.
Marcelo Bielsa has Bamford, in-form Kemar Roofe and Tyler Roberts as striking options, so it was always going to be difficult for Ekuban to force his way into contention.
