Several Leeds United fans have been left pleased with the reports concerning the likes of Eunan O’Kane, Caleb Ekuban and Jay-Roy Grot.

A number of Leeds fans have taken to Twitter to comment on the reports that have recently emerged from the Yorkshire Evening Post which suggested that the Whites are likely to let Caleb Ekuban, Jay-Roy Grot and Eunan O’Kane leave this summer.

Marcelo Bielsa is preparing for his first season at Elland Road and is looking to make changes to a squad that is incredibly large and could only register an uninspiring, bottom-half finish in the Championship last season.

It appears that much of the summer will be spent making up for a poor window last year – and that seemingly involves moving on some of the players who were brought in during that period.

The Yorkshire Evening Post reported after Pawel Cibicki’s loan exit that Grot and Ekuban are amongst those who are likely to be allowed to leave, while O’Kane – who was signed in 2016 – is also set to be playing for a new team next term.

It would probably not surprise many that the trio are on the list of players looking set to leave. Grot and Ekuban have looked some way short of being lethal strikers in the Championship, while O’Kane’s incredibly bright start to last season had tailed off considerably by the turn of the year.

Interestingly, while plans to let Ekuban and O’Kane leave appear to have been backed by a number of the fans, there are some who feel that Grot should only be loaned out for the coming season.

It seems incredibly difficult to find a Leeds supporter who feels that the Dutchman is ready for a first-team role at Elland Road, but some appear to believe that he does have potential and letting him go permanently could prove a mistake.

Here is what some of the fans made of the reports…

There was some support for Ekuban, however…
