Leeds United defender Laurens De Bock has signed for Sunderland on a season-long loan, the club has confirmed on their official website.

Jack Ross has been scouring the market for a left-back and has now finally solved his conundrum.

Leeds signed the De Bock for £1.5 million (Yorkshire Evening Post) back in 2018.

The 26-year-old has never got his career going at Elland Road, featuring just seven times for the Whites.

De Bock has practically no chance of first-team football under Marcelo Bielsa and Sunderland have pounced on the experienced left-sided defender.

The determined performer will hope to get back to his best and his ultimate aim will be to prove to people that he is capable of playing in England.

De Bock has dropped behind Barry Douglas and Leif Davis in the Leeds pecking order and doing well with Sunderland could land him a permanent move.

Despite having a contract in West Yorkshire until 2021, his Elland Road days look numbered.

Following his departure, Leeds supporters have taken to Twitter to have their say on the move.

It is fair to say that not too many supporters are bothered about De Bock going out on loan.

The general consensus is one of sarcasm at his departure, given that he has hardly played since arriving.

Here is a selection of Tweets from Leeds supporters in the wake of De Bock leaving the club:
