Leeds United have impressed in their Championship campaign so far this season, with the Peacocks currently sat second in the standings.
There is still a long way to go for Marcelo Bielsa’s side as they seek to earn promotion to the Premier League, where they have been absent since their relegation in 2004, and new signings in January are needed to end their long wait.
While many are starting to speculate who the Peacocks could bring to Elland Road when the window reopens, there is also the possibility of a number of departures taking place – and one player could be on his way to MLS.
According to reports, Leeds are considering offloading Pawel Cibicki with clubs in North America expressing an interest in the 24-year-old forward, who recently returned from a loan with Molde, after he accumulated just seven league appearances for Leeds last season.
Plenty of fans responded to the rumour and we have gathered some of their reactions below.
Last straw for me, Bielsa out.

He can’t be worse than Alioski surely

Not worth Bielsa having a look at Phil? After all, he can turn water into wine!

Blimey he’s on the books – get him in the u23’s, and if he beds in he’s a left wing option surely? Worth a punt with the injuries we are having

Could be worth a shot. Had a couple good moments last season. Give Ali a rest, it’s not like We’re going to splash millions on a new winger??
