Pawel Cibicki might never play a Championship game for Leeds again with Marcelo Bielsa reportedly not a fan of the forward.
Pawel Cibicki returned from his short-term loan spell at Molde last week and Leeds United fans took to Twitter hoping for a Mateusz Klich-style resurgence from the Sweden U21 international.
But it seems that Cibicki will not be given the chance to salvage his Elland Road career. According to the Yorkshire Evening Post, Leeds are planning to sell the striker in the January transfer window as Marcelo Bielsa believes he is surplus to requirements.
And Cibicki could be on his way across The Atlantic with the YEP adding that at least one MLS club is interested in securing his services at the start of 2019.
It remains to be seen how much Leeds would demand for Cibicki, who moved to West Yorkshire on a £1.5 million deal from Malmo in the summer of 2017. The 24-year-old has another two-and-a-half years on his contract as things stand.
The versatile forward had a brief spell in Leeds’ first-team plans towards the end of Thomas Christiansen’s spell in charge about 12 months ago but fell out of favour once Paul Heckingbottom replaced the Dane.
And, once Bielsa farmed him out to Molde, Cibicki managed a less than impressive three goals in 18 games under the former Manchester United striker Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
