Yosuke Ideguchi voices Leeds United 'regrets' after sealing transfer back to British football

The 25-year-old midfielder has sealed a move to British football for a second time, joining the Hoops north of the border.

The Japan international arrived at Elland Road for an undisclosed fee, believed to be in the region of £500,000, from Gamba Osaka in January 2018.

Ideguchi put pen to paper on a four-and-a-half year deal with the Whites and became the club's first ever Japanese player though the move didn't work out for either party.

He spent time on loan in Spain with Cultural Leonesa and had an injury disrupted spell in Bundesliga 2 at Greuther Furth before it became clear that he would not be part of Marcelo Bielsa's plans moving forward.

Despite featuring in pre-season in 2018-19, Ideguchi failed to make a competitive first team appearance for Leeds as he departed West Yorkshire back to his former J-League outfit just 18 months after joining.

Ideguchi, though, has now secured a switch to Britain once again with Ange Postecoglou's outfit and is aiming for a more successful spell this time around.
