Kemar Roofe has spoken out about his decision to leave Leeds United for Anderlecht.

And not all fans agree with his choice of words.

Speaking to Talksport, Roofe said that it was a simple decision for him to make when he learned of the opportunity to join Vincent Kompany’s side.

Roofe said: “I think it was a no brainer when I got told about it.

“It’s a massive club. The project they’re looking to do is very exciting. It’s an important season for Anderlecht, they want to win trophies, qualify for the Champions League. It’s something I can’t turn down.”

Roofe added that he understood how some Leeds fans were taken aback by the sudden nature of the move, admitting he was caught off guard too.

But Whites fans feel the Yorkshire club is bigger than Anderlecht and Roofe might be making a misjudgement by deciding to move.

Leeds are among the favourites to win promotion, at which juncture the club’s potential can finally be unlocked.

Roofe was not willing to wait around and gamble on that happening.
