Leeds United winger Ezgjan Alioski has suggested to Leeds Live that he is open to signing a new contract with the club.

The 27-year-old, who can also operate as a left-back, has been on the books of Leeds since 2017 when he joined from Lugano.

According to Transfermarkt.co.uk, the North Macedonia international is out of contract at the Championship club until the summer of 2021.

Alioski is set to make his 100th appearance for Leeds this week, as reported in Leeds Live, and the winger has suggested that he is open to staying at the club long enough to play another 100 matches for the West Yorkshire outfit.

Alioski told Leeds Live regarding his imminent 100th appearance: “Of course. At first I didn’t think about this, but I’m really proud. Every game I’m proud as it makes you happy. Thanks Leeds and I hope for another.”

The winger added when asked if he would like a new contract: “Let’s talk about Derby. I’ve played 100 games, I’m happy, I’m proud and want to do another 100.”

Important player for Leeds United

Alioski does divide Leeds fans, but it is clear that he is a favourite of head coach Marcelo Bielsa, who consistently includes him in the starting lineup.

So far this season, the 27-year-old has made four starts and two substitute appearances in the Championship for Leeds, while during the 2018-19 campaign, the winger played 44 league matches for the Whites, according to WhoScored.
