Hadi Sacko’s loan deal with Leeds has come to an end.

Leeds United winger Hadi Sacko has taken to Twitter to send a message to fans after he played the final game of his loan spell on Sunday afternoon.
The Whites travelled to the DW Stadium in order to take on Wigan Athletic on Sunday, and after Ryan Tunnicliffe had put the Latics in front, Chris Wood equalised from the penalty spot after Eunan O’Kane had been fouled.
With a miraculous set of results need for a play-off place, Leeds missed out on the top six, and will be looking to strengthen their squad with new signings – though manager Garry Monk has some decisions to make over loan players.
Kyle Bartley, Matt Grimes, Hadi Sacko, Modou Barrow and Alonfso Pedraza are all on loan at Elland Road, meaning they could have played their final games for Leeds unless they return this summer.

Winger Sacko was a regular for Leeds since joining on loan from Sporting Lisbon last summer, notching two goals and three assists in 38 appearances for the Whites as he was often criticised for his lack of end product.
The 23-year-old’s time at Elland Road may be over, given that it’s unclear whether he will be returning given that his last four appearances were all as a substitute, with manager Monk non-committal over a deal for the winger.

On Monday, Sacko took to Twitter to thank the fans for their support, bidding them goodbye – though he wasn’t sure whether his departure is for good or just temporarily, as Leeds consider their next move with the wide man.
Fans responded to Sacko by thanking him for his efforts, praising his potential whilst many fans want him to return next season in a permanent move, with one fan even suggesting that Charlie Taylor – who refused to face Wigan on Sunday – could learn a thing or two about class from Sacko after his heartfelt message to the Leeds supporters.
