Leeds United reportedly want to sell Vurnon Anita.
Much was expected of Vurnon Anita when he arrived at Leeds United in the summer of 2017 following his departure from Newcastle United.
Anita, who is a very versatile footballer and can operate as a full-back or as a defensive midfielder, joined Leeds on a free transfer following his departure from Newcastle.
Expectations and results
The 29-year-old knows the Premier League and the Championship well, and the Dutchman was expected to be a success at Leeds.
However, Anita failed to make a massive impact at Elland Road, but he was able to make only 14 starts and four substitute appearances in the Championship for the Whites this past season.
True, the former Ajax star has injury issues, but when he did feature, his performances were not great.
Summer exit
According to The Yorkshire Evening Post, Leeds plan to move on Anita in the summer transfer window once he recovers fully from a recent ankle surgery.
With two more years left on his current contract at Elland Road, Anita could fetch a decent transfer fee, and it would not be a bad idea for the Whites to cash in on him and invest that money in signing a new player.
