90% of Leeds fans want midfielder Eunan O’Kane sold in the summer, according to a survey conducted by Leeds Live.

O’Kane has come in for sustained criticism from fans this season after a string of sub-par performances.

The 27-year-old midfielder was hooked in the second half of the 3-0 defeat to Middlesbrough and didn’t make it off the bench in the 3-0 defeat to Wolves on Wednesday.

Now it appears the fans have had enough and want rid of him in the summer.

“The midfielder has not enjoyed a good time of late”, Leeds Live wrote.

“After he was sent off against Ipswich he has struggled for form, despite being given plenty of chances under Heckingbottom.”

Football Insider verdict:

Paul Heckingbottom has had a baptism of fire at Leeds so far. If he was under any illusion as to the size of the task facing him when he arrived, he’ll know it now. He’s said that the club is where it is because that’s where it deserves to be. He’ll have to make wholesale changes in the summer and if O’Kane isn’t good enough for the club now, he won’t have a chance next season. The fans have lost patience with him, Heckingbottom has seemingly lost patience with him and he should be sold in the summer – for his sake and for Leeds.
