Leeds United winger Hadi Sacko has sent a message after helping his loan club win their relegation fight on Monday night.

Sacko, a £1.5 million signing by Leeds [Yorkshire Evening Post], opened the scoring last night as Ankaragucu beat Sivasspor 3-1 to move 12th in the Turkish Super Lig table, six points clear of danger with only one game left.

The Frenchman joined the Turkish side in January after struggling for first-team chances under Whites boss Marcelo Bielsa in the other half of the season.

And here’s how the 25-year-old reacted to helping Ankaragucu to safety.

Sacko, originally brought to Leeds by Garry Monk nearly three years ago, has managed three goals in 14 league outings for the Turkish side.

He has another year left on his contract at Thorp Arch but it remains to be seen whether United keep him next season or try and sell him to Ankaragucu on a permanent basis.

Despite having an abundance of pace, Sacko’s end product has often let him down in England and it looks a long way back for him under Bielsa in West Yorkshire.
