Hadi Sacko struggled to hit the ground running when Leeds United turned his loan deal into a permanent move, but the 24-year-old has fans talking again with a stunning strike for Ankaragucu.
The wide midfielder moved to the Super Lig in January and will compete in Turkey for the remainder of the season, but seems to have re-found some of the form he missed at Elland Road and then at Las Palmas.
Monday’s clash against Kasimpasa was Sacko’s second outing as an Ankaragucu player, this time starting the game form the right-wing, and returned his new coach’s trust with a screaming shot from outside the box to stretch his side’s lead shortly into the second half.

If Sacko can put in more performances, and goals, like he did on Monday night, Marcelo Bielsa may take note and consider the Mali international for his squad next season.
When the footage emerged online, the Elland Road faithful rushed to the clip to offer their insight…
Good goal. He tried squaring it though… ????????

I was bit sad we didnt give him a go in a new system seeing as we are missing an attacking player through Saiz leaving
