February 2018 saw Leeds United fans launch a social media campaign for the club to sign up Pierre Michel Lasogga.

The on loan German hit form 12 months ago, scoring the first goal of Paul Heckingbottom’s reign, his third in four starts.

Fans began campaigning on Twitter, trying to catch the board’s attention with a #SignLasogga hashtag.

Lasogga ended the season out of form, losing his scoring touch, and calls for a permanent transfer tailed off, ended by a change in management.

A year on he faces another uncertain future.

Lasogga returned to Hamburg, who were relegated to the Bundesliga 2.

His £50,000 a week wages have hurt the club financially, but on the pitch he has delivered.

Lasogga has scored 14 goals in 18 games this season, including 10 in the league.

Hamburg sit four points clear and are on course for promotion.

However Lasogga is not certain to re-sign.

The Hamburg MorgenPost report club and player have hit a halt in negotiations over a new deal, with Hamburg making clear he must take a substantial paycut to re-sign.

Lasogga likes Hamburg, but he is not sure whether to sign up for another relegation battle next season back in the Bundesliga.

As it stands, the MorgenPost report he is on course to be released, and is open to considering clubs in England and Germany.

Leeds probably won’t be interested, yet there is a possibility the Whites could end up lining up against him.
