Leeds United offloaded the young striker on loan yesterday.
Leeds United farmed out young striker Kun Temenuzhkov on transfer deadline day.
The Bulgarian-born striker, who the Whites signed from Barcelona in 2017, has returned to Spain to join second-division side La Nucia on a half-season loan.
Kun has been limited to appearances for Leeds’ Under-23 side this season and the arrival of Jean-Kevin Augustin on loan from Leipzig ensured that the young hitman wasn’t going to get many chances in Marcelo Bielsa’s senior squad from now until May.
Here’s how the player reacted to the temporary departure on Twitter:
With his La Masia background and form for United’s Under-23 side down the years, Kun is a popular player among fans of the Elland Road club.
And here’s how some responded to his post-departure message on Twitter:
Kun has made just the one senior appearance for Leeds and, if we’re honest, he has a challenge on his hands to make another one.
This is a team that could and most likely will be a Premier League side come this August, which will only make it harder for the young star to break through.
But you never know, a productive spell in Spain could see him return to West Yorkshire a different player.
