Leeds United fans have taken to Twitter to express their regret at the club’s decision to offload versatile forward Souleymane Doukara this summer.

The 26-year-old striker was released by the Elland Road club this summer after falling down the pecking order under new manager Thomas Christiansen, following an influx of new signings.

It saw Doukara join Turkish Super Lig side Osmanlispor, where he has impressed with three goals in his nine appearances this season, even appearing from the bench against Turkish giants Fenerbahce on Saturday.

Leeds have lost seven out of their last eight league and cup encounters including Saturday’s 3-1 loss to Brentford, with the likes of Ezgjan Alioski, Pierre-Michel Lasogga and Jay-Roy Grot yet to prove why the Yorkshire club placed their faith in them.

Doukara was used regularly by former boss Garry Monk last season, making 39 appearances and scoring six times as well as laying on four assists as he was used mainly out wide.

Leeds fans took to Twitter to express their frustration at the club’s decision to offload Doukara on a free, with one fan even claiming that he is better than “Grot and Lasogga combined.”
