Some Leeds United fans have taken to Twitter to give their reaction to the departure of Ezgjan Alioski.
What’s the story?
Leeds have announced on their website this afternoon that Alioski is leaving.
The North Macedonia international was out of contract at the Whites at the end of last month.
It has now been decided that the 29-year-old will leave Elland Road for good.
Leeds’s Director of Football Victor Orta told the club’s official website: “I knew Gjanni was going to be special the moment he walked into the building.
“The emotion I saw in his face and the face of his parents when signed his contract here at Elland Road was a beautiful moment and I was sure he was going to give everything for Leeds United. Even with this in mind he exceeded my expectations.
“Gjanni has been exceptional both on and off the field, his teammates will miss him greatly, as will all of the staff at Thorp Arch and Elland Road. We thank Gjanni for all of his efforts and we wish him every success for the future.”
What are Leeds United fans saying?
As you can see from the tweets below, Leeds fans are disappointed to see Alioski leave.
The North Macedonia arrived at Elland Road as a winger, but he had been playing as a left-back.

The winger scored two goals and gave three assists in those games.
