Two Leeds United flops could come head to head this weekend.
Leeds United today confirmed that Hadi Sacko had left the club on loan.
The French winger has joined MKE Ankaragucu in Turkey’s top flight on a deal until the end of the season.
Sacko, a £1.5 million permanent signing by Leeds during the summer of 2017 [Yorkshire Evening Post], spent the first half of this season on loan at Spanish second division side Las Palmas, who terminated the agreement last week.
The 24-year-old badly needs games, having not played a senior match for any team since October, and coincidentally his first one in Turkey could come up against a familiar face.
Ankaragucu host Trabzonspor in a Turkish Super Lig clash on Saturday, and fellow Leeds loanee Caleb Ekuban could be in the opposition XI.
The Italian striker, who signed for United in the same summer as Sacko, has started Trabzonspor’s last two games and it wouldn’t be a big surprise if he were to keep his place, having scored in his second to last appearance for them.
Sacko and Ekuban last played in the same Leeds team almost a year ago, in the 1-0 home win over Brentford on February 24 of last year.
Combined, they managed three goals in 39 appearances across all competitions for the Yorkshire outfit last term.
