From starring at Barcelona to two transfers in one summer: How Leeds United's exits have fared

Six players left Leeds United during the summer transfer window in what was the club’s biggest squad overhauls in a few years. Kalvin Phillips and Raphinha were of course the most high profile of those exits, with the former moving to Manchester City and the latter to Barcelona.

Leif Davis, Kiko Casilla, Laurens De Bock and Liam McCarron were the other four to move on for various reasons. Here is a round-up of how each of them have got on so far in the first month of the season.

Raphinha – Barcelona

It has not taken Raphinha long at all to settle in at Barcelona, already establishing himself as a key player in Xavi’s front three. He netted his first goal for the club in a 3-0 victory at Sevilla on Saturday, a week after providing his first assist for Robert Lewandowski’s opener in the 4-0 win over Real Valladolid.

Kalvin Phillips – Man City

Phillips’ settling in period at Man City has been much different to that of Raphinha’s, with the midfielder struggling with injuries so far. He has played just one minute of competitive action as he remains on the sidelines due to a shoulder injury he picked up in a friendly against Barcelona a couple of weeks ago.

Leif Davis – Ipswich Town

Davis and his new Ipswich Town side have been flying during the early weeks of the season as they sit unbeaten at the top of League One. The 22-year-old has one assist in his six appearances for the Tractor Boys so far.

Liam McCarron – Stoke City

After leaving Leeds for Stoke City at the end of the season, McCarron made the loan switch to the Potters’ bitter rivals Port Vale on deadline day. He will be looking to secure regular game time at the League One side.

Kiko Casilla – Getafe

Casilla is yet to make an appearance for Getafe after joining the Spanish outfit upon the cancellation of his contract at Leeds. He is currently playing second fiddle to David Soria at the La Liga strugglers.

Laurens De Bock – Atromitos

After spending the last two seasons on loan at Zulte Waregem, De Bock penned a permanent switch at the Belgian side in May. But in a very strange turn of events, De Bock left just two months later for Greek outfit Atromitos, for whom he has made three appearances.
