Leeds United manager Marcelo Bielsa pretty quickly decided over the summer that attacker Hadi Sacko wasn’t for him and a loan move for the season was arranged out with Spanish Segunda division side Las Palmas.
It hasn’t been a great first half of the year for the 24-year-old as according to Soccerbase he’s only made five substitute appearances for them since he first arrived, and the last of those came back at the end of October.
The Yorkshire Evening Post’s Phil Hay has taken to social media recently to explain that he’s heard it will be highly likely that Las Palmas will be looking to terminate his spell before the closure of the window, and they feel a fresh loan for the second half of the year would be in the best interests of everyone.
Sounds likely that Hadi Sacko's loan at Las Palmas will be terminated shortly. Hasn't played much there and Las Palmas want to send him back with a view to him going on loan elsewhere for the second half of the season. Clubs in Hungary and Cyprus interested. #lufc

With Bielsa making such an early decision on him, it’s highly unlikely he’ll return and come back into contention so a second loan deal would be preferable, and even though he has a semi cult-like status at Elland Road amongst some, even a permanent deal can’t be ruled out if one could be arranged after such a bad loan spell.
Didn’t think it’d be long before they’d Hadi-nough of him

Soft spot for Hadi, always interacted with supporters.

To think, he played a pretty important role for us in that great season with Monk

Clearly not going to return playing for Leeds so might as well sell.

Let bielsa work his magic on him. I like the lad

I'd try him under Bielsa as a back up.

Id keep him. He has his moments. Sure Bielsa can turn him into Bale
