With confirmation the other day that Leeds United’s Hadi Sacko had returned from what had been a poor spell out on loan this season with Las Palmas, the expectation was that we’d find him a new home for the second half of the 2018/19 campaign.
Yesterday, Leeds confirmed that this was the case and the 24-year-old now heads out to Turkish side MKE Ankaragucu for the remainder of the year with the hopes of significantly increasing his game time given his spell in the Spanish Segunda Division saw only five substitute showings in the opening half of the year.

It seems incredibly unlikely that he’ll be able to work his way into manager Marcelo Bielsa’s plans, especially if we do manage to secure promotion back to the Premier League this year, so his time at Elland Road could be up after 33 starting appearances, 27 substitute showings with three goals returned.
Reacting to news of his departure once again on social media, most fans were happy to wish him well.
Good luck mimosa… hope it will work out for you. #lufc #mot

Feel sorry for hadi. And i reckon he’d be a quality player under bielsa as well. You only have to look at klich, Phillips, roofe, to see the improvement
