Manager Daniel Farke believes Leeds United have found "the best possible solution" to losing Luis Sinisterra on deadline day.

The winger moved to Bournemouth in a loan move only
confirmed an hour after Friday's transfer window technically shut.
Despite that, Leeds were able to acquire fellow wide player
Jaidon Anthony, who moves in the opposite direction, also on loan.
"I praised Luis more or less since my arriving, we
spoke about what a player he is and that he can be an outstanding, dominating
player at this level so if I tell you I'm happy Luis is away no one would
believe me," said Farke, whose side drew 0-0 at home to Sheffield
Wednesday on Saturday.
"We tried everything to keep him but his contractual
situation was complicated so sometimes in the end you have to accept reality.
"You also have to accept the tough reality and adapt to
it.
"When you lose a key player with a few hours to go (in
the transfer window) you can feel sorry for yourself but we tried to find the
best possible replacement and with Jaidon Anthony I think we found the best
possible option.
"He's a proven Championship player. He's started in
many games at Premier League level, he's a brilliant lad desperate to be here
and he's at an age where he will improve."
