Leeds United completed a deal for the winger earlier this summer but the Whites look to be forging ahead with some exciting moves.
When Leeds United completed a permanent deal for Hadi Sacko earlier this summer, Whites fans were satisfied rather than elated.
After all, the winger had not exactly pulled up trees at Elland Road while on loan last season, scoring two goals and providing four assists in 42 appearances.
His overall performances were promising and, still only 23, he is arguably a few years a way from his peak. But could the plans of new Leeds boss Thomas Christiansen make the Frenchman question his decision to commit his long-term future to the Whites?
After all, a report from Corriere dello Ticino claims Leeds are closing in on Lugano attacker Ezgjan Alioski, who is equally comfortable on the right wing or up front.
Last season for the Swiss side he scored nine goals from out wide and eight more as a centre forward, and depending on where Christiansen opted to play him, if he were to arrive it could be bad news for Sacko.
When you also consider Leeds have been linked with Mateusz Klich (De Telegraaf) and Samu Saiz (Estadio Deportivo), it is clear the new Leeds boss is looking to add considerable goal threat to his squad.
The problem for Sacko is that he was not offering that last season and could be stuck playing a bit-part role despite having only just agreed a permanent deal.
Only time will tell, with Leeds still needing to get their alleged targets through the door.
One can only wonder if the erratic winger could be the odd one out for Christiansen’s new-look team if everything goes to plan.
