Leeds United round-up: Ideguchi exits, De Bock to follow, no defenders coming

New pastures for Yosuke

Japan international Yosuke Ideguchi has headed out on loan from Leeds United.

The 21-year-old was told he was unlikely to feature at Elland Road this season and has therefore made a move to German side Greuther Furth.

He will spend the season playing in 2.Bundesliga. It is his second spell out on loan from Leeds, following a stint at Cultural Leonesa last season.

The Leeds talent will hope this loan spell is more successful. He struggled for first-team football in Spain and also suffered relegation.

De Bock off

Laurens De Bock also looks set to leave the club in the coming hours. After being linked with a move to Israel yesterday, it seems he is heading back to his Belgian homeland.

The Yorkshire Evening Post is reporting that the 25-year-old is set to join KV Oostende in a season-long loan deal.

He struggled at Leeds, eventually losing his place to youngster Tom Pearce whilst injured. The arrival of Barry Douglas has forced him further down the pecking order at Elland Road.

Defender unlikely

Meanwhile, it appears that Leeds are unlikely to bring in any more loan players before the end of that respective window shutting this month.

According to the YEP, Bielsa is happy with the squad he has. That includes at centre-back, where the club are considered to be light.

Leeds have been linked with a move for Everton defender Matthew Pennington, who spent last season on loan at the club.

But that now looks unlikely.
