Leeds United winger is out on loan as Las Palmas.
Leeds United winger Hadi Sacko made his first competitive appearance for his new club Las Palmas at the weekend.
Sacko began the game on the substitute’s bench, as he did for much of his spell at Leeds last season.
He was brought on with 15 minutes to go against Reus Deporte, with Las Palmas already 2-0 up.
Sacko sent a message to fans after the game, expressing his happiness at getting started at his loan club.
His message read: “Happy for the first victory with my new team and happy for my first minutes.”
Sacko made only one league start for Leeds last season, plus a further 13 appearances from the bench.
Leeds paid £1.5 million to sign him from Sporting Lisbon a year ago on a three-year contract.
That meant he played in less than a third of Leeds’ 46 Championship games.
Just to be playing for Las Palmas is a step in the right direction for him, and Sacko’s next challenge is to earn and hold down a regular starting spot.
