Winger Hadi Sacko has taken to Twitter to send a message to Leeds United fans about a possible return to the club amid reports that he will re-join from Sporting Lisbon.
Sacko, 23, failed to make an impression with Sporting having joined from Bordeaux in 2014, and after a loan spell with Sochaux, the Frenchman was farmed out to Leeds United last summer.

Sacko was a regular under Garry Monk this season, notching two goals and three assists in 38 Championship appearances, though his end product often drew criticism from Leeds fans.
However, France Football reported on Monday that Sacko is actually edging towards re-joining Sacko on a permanent basis, with a three-year deal reportedly on the table.

It’s stated that Leeds will be paying around €2.3million (£2million) to land the winger on a permanent basis, which is an interesting move given that Leeds currently don’t have a manager.
The Whites saw Monk resign last week, and whilst they are searching for a new manager, they have also put in work in the transfer market to seemingly tie up a deal for Sacko.
