Leeds United supporters have told Diego Llorente to 'smash it' at his new club after the centre-back left Elland Road on a season-long loan spell to Serie A giants AS Roma.
The 29-year-old has made 59 appearances during his time with the Whites and scored four goals after joining from Real Sociedad in September 2020.
Although he's fallen down the pecking order under Jesse Marsch in recent months, he did sign a new deal just a few weeks ago but now could leave permanently as his move to Roma has a buy option with it.

Fans took to social media to wish Llorente well with his new club, with some reminiscing over their favourite memories of the star at Elland Road.
@MattChlk: All the best Diego.
@DroyNot: Cheers for your work Diego lad. I'll never forget that Watford goal
@Mvrsh_vll: Good luck Diego! We will never forget your first season with us and I’m sure you’ll smash it at Roma!
@Rossitt77: Good luck Diego. Thank you for your time here. Sorry it didn't work out. I'm hoping you go and smash it in Italy.
@Ash_LUFC_: Wish him all the best. I hope he can get his confidence back while out on loan and kick off his career again. Genuine guy and a great person. Always respect him for his efforts at Leeds. His goal against Liverpool was.
