Leeds United teenager Luke Garbutt has signed with Everton.

The 16-year old full-back turned down an offer from the Whites to join the Premier League club which was met with a negative response on Leeds' official website.

"Leeds United made the player an exceptional offer to join the club initially as a scholar and then as a professional player," the statement read.

"We're disappointed that the player chose to join Everton.

"Leeds United are entitled to compensation and will also look into the circumstances surrounding his move."
