Leeds United midfielder Yosuke Ideguchi has become Marcelo Bielsa’s latest casualty after leaving the Whites on loan to join SpVgg Greuther Fürth until the end of the 2018-19 season – and some Leeds fans reacted on Twitter.

The 21-year-old joined Leeds from Gamba Osaka in the January transfer window, and was immediately sent on loan to Spanish second division side Cultural Leonesa.

The idea was for the young midfielder to continue his excellent growth and become a regular with the Spanish side, boosting his chances of making the Japan World Cup squad.

However, the 12-time international managed only five appearances for the second-tier side. Way down the pecking order at Elland Road following the new signing of Lewis Baker and a reignited Mateusz Klich, he has now left the club.

He has joined SpVgg Greuther Fürth on loan, who play in the second tier of German football. Ideguchi’s new side have reported that the deal includes a permanent option.

Some Leeds United fans reacted on Twitter to the news that Ideguchi is set to join Furth on loan until the end of the season, and fans have questioned why Victor Orta lured him to Elland Road in the first place.
