Eunan O’Kane has left Leeds United to join Luton Town on a season-long loan.

The Republic of Ireland international was out of the frame at Leeds under Marcelo Bielsa – who didn’t give him a squad number – and joined the League One side on deadline day.

The 28-year-old midfielder has Premier League experience under his belt, having helped Bournemouth win promotion to the top flight from the third tier of English footbal.

It’s quite a coup for Luton, and here’s how Town fans reacted to signing O’Kane – who earns £12,000 per week with Leeds, according to The Daily Star.

This time last year, O’Kane had signed a new four-year deal with the Elland Road side, so to drop down a division since then represents a quite fall from grace.

It had been a terrible 2018 for him in West Yorkshire, with a loss of form resulting in a lack of first-team football during the second part of last season.

But hopefully the Leeds-owned man can rebuild his confidence at Luton.
