Leeds United have handed a new deal to Kun Temenuzkhov.
Leeds United have signed Kun Temenuzhkov to a new contract, the Yorkshire Evening Post report.
This might come as a relief for the promising 19-year-old striker, considering he has played only one first team game since joining in 2017.
That too, and the fact his fellow batch of young foreign imports have all been moved on by Leeds since signing.
Kun was one of several young players recruited by Victor Orta in the summer of 2017.
It kickstarted the club’s improvement at academy level, but one by one, they have been allowed to leave.
Oussama Siddiki lasted just one season. Hugo Diaz and Oriol Rey lasted two years before departing this summer.
Adrian Balboa, Alejandro Machuca and Oliver Sarkic were all also permitted to leave the club during the past transfer window.
With Leeds releasing the majority of them rather than receiving significant transfer fees, it would be fair to describe the recruitment as unsuccessful.
Leeds retained Kun, and his new deal is significant as he bucks the trend.
The teenager still has a lot of work to do, but Leeds clearly still believe in the former Barcelona talent.
