Leeds United have shone in the Championship this season under Marcelo Bielsa but the same cannot be said for every player on the books at Elland Road.

Hadi Sacko spent the first half of the season in Spain’s second tier with Las Palmas but failed to make an impression, with Leeds’ director of football Victor Orta telling La Provincia that the deal would be cut short in January.

The same outlet has now provided another update, claiming that Cyprian side AEK Larnaca and Hungarian outfit Mol Vidi, both of whom played in the Europa League group stages this season, are plotting a move for the 24-year-old.

Signed by Leeds in the summer of 2017 after previously impressing during a loan stint at the club from Sporting Lisbon’s second team, Sacko failed to score in 14 Championship appearances after making a move permanent and has featured just five times for Las Palmas this season.
