Leeds have done plenty of reshaping for the 2018/19 season this summer, with Antonsson the latest player to depart Elland Road.

Madger Gomes left earlier in July to join Sochaux, while goalkeeper Felix Wiedwalk has joined Eintracht Frankfurt and fellow shot-stopper has left by mutual consent. Moses Abioye, Matthew Keogh, Moise Kroma and Romario Vieira have all been released.

Contrastingly, Daniel Martin, Joshveer Shergill and Leif Davis have all been brought in permanently, while Lewie Coyle, Pawel Cibicki, Jay-Roy Grot, Tyler Denton and Paudie O'Connor and Mallik Wilks have all left on loan.
