Hadi Sacko could return to Championship title favourites Leeds United in January after struggling on loan at Spanish second tier outfit Las Palmas.

If there were any Leeds United fans doubting the credentials of Marcelo Bielsa when he took over in the summer, the impact he has made on the likes of Mateusz Klich, Liam Cooper, Kemar Roofe, Kalvin Phillips and co certainly silenced the cynics.

So it is understandable that a few Leeds fans want to see what Bielsa can do with Hadi Sacko.

To say the winger is a raw talent would be an understatement. Sacko, who signed permanently for £1.5 million after spending the 2016/17 season on loan at Elland Road, is blessed with outstanding pace – it’s just everything else which is the problem.

Barely a game went by without Leeds fans taking to Twitter in their droves to lament Sacko’s lack of end product after all.

Now, the former Sporting Lisbon youngster is facing an uncertain future right now with his loan spell at Las Palmas in danger of being cut short.

Director of football Victor Orta told La Provincia that Leeds could bring Sacko back to Elland Road this month after he was left out of Las Palmas’ last five games in the Spanish second tier.

But does he deserve a second chance under a manager who has made transforming players his calling card? Could he be, as one Leeds fan suggested, their answer to Adama Traore?
