Leeds United fans have taken to social networking site Twitter to give their reaction to the departures of Vurnon Anita and Eunan O’Kane.

Anita, who can operate as a full-back or as a defensive midfielder, left Leeds for Dutch club Willem II on a season-long loan deal on transfer deadline day.

The 29-year-old Dutchman moved to Leeds in the summer of 2017 on a free transfer after leaving Newcastle United at the end of the 2016-17 campaign.

O’Kane left Leeds to move to League One club Luton Town on loan on transfer deadline day.

The 28-year-old Republic of Ireland international midfielder switched to the West Yorkshire outfit from Bournemouth in the summer of 2016.

The former Torquay United midfielder made 27 starts and five substitute appearances in the Championship for Leeds last season, providing three assists in the process, according to WhoScored.

During the 2016-17 season, O’Kane made 20 starts and four substitute appearances in the league for the Whites, providing two assists in the process, according to WhoScored.

Leeds fans have taken to Twitter to give their reaction to the departures of Anita and O’Kane.
