Gaetano Berardi is injured and out of contract while Ben White has returned to Premier League rivals Brighton and the duo needed replacing. Now, Leeds have plenty of options – with Llorente and Robin Koch – in central defence.
Sociedad fans have reacted on Twitter to the news that Llorente is set to join Leeds, subject to a medical and personal terms. Many are seemingly happy to see him go, but they wished Llorente the best ahead of his departure.
To leeds fans, he was pretty terrible over the last season or two but he has a high ceiling and could be better fitted for the PL. That being said, we needed a change at the back, maybe changing clubs ends up being good for him

I enjoyed him a little bit the first season. However, from then on he began to play very badly and make many defensive mistakes.

He needed to change to another club. If he feels comfortable is a very good player and suits better in the PL than in La Liga. Moreover, 20M for a CB its a great deal, and I hope it will by worthy to you. Good luck.
