Leeds United fans have had a mixed reaction to Yosuke Ideguchi’s first performance for them.

Ideguchi was signed by Leeds in January, but he has failed to make much of an impression at Elland Road.

The Japanese international was quickly loaned out, and has only just been given a chance by Marcelo Bielsa.

Ideguchi was handed a start last night, as Leeds drew 1-1 with York City.

But his performance did not draw widespread praise, with Leeds fans having mixed reviews of his showing.

Whether Ideguchi can force his way into Leeds’ first-team contention remains to be seen.

Ideguchi appears to be ahead of of Eunan O’Kane in the race for a place in Leeds’ midfield, but looks likely to be sat on the substitutes’ bench.

Leeds’ competitive season kicks off with a game against Stoke City in early August.
