Laurens de Bock appears to have played his final game for Championship table-toppers Leeds United.
Leeds United are hoping to sell Laurens de Bock in the summer after a forgettable loan spell in Belgium, according to Voetbal Belgie.
The left-back arrived at Elland Road 14 months ago for a fee of £1.5 million, but it is fair to say he is not one of Victor Orta’s more memorable signings. De Bock made just seven starts in the Championship and will perhaps be best remembered for a nightmare outing in a 4-3 home defeat to Millwall.
Once Barry Douglas was brought in from Wolves last summer, it was no surprise when De Bock was allowed to leave.
The former Club Brugge defender returned to his homeland with Oostende but he has flattered to deceive in just 13 Jupiler League starts. Oostende are placed 14th in a 16-team league are at genuine risk of relegation.
Voetbel Belgie believes that De Bock is unlikely to get a second chance at Leeds and has probably played his final game for the club.
The report states that Leeds do not want to loan the defender out again and will cash in if they can recoup their £1.5 million investment. It seems unlikely, however, that Oostende will move to sign De Bock on a permanent basis.
