Leeds United winger Hadi Sacko has told Radio Yorkshire that he absolutely loves playing at Elland Road.

Sacko has joined Leeds on loan for the season from Sporting Lisbon, and he has made a productive start to life with Garry Monk’s side.

The youngster remains a very raw prospect, but he has caught the eye with his pace and skill.

And Sacko is enjoying having so much support from the Leeds fans, when he is on the pitch.

“My first time when I played at Elland Road I was very excited,” he said. “It’s a big stadium, and the fans are very close and it’s very special. It’s loud with good ambiance. I like it.”

Sacko has made 12 appearances for Leeds to date, and he has scored on one occasion.

The 22-year-old appears to have forced his way into Garry Monk’s plans, and could have an important role to play for Leeds this season.

The Whites are gunning for promotion this term, having won five of their last six matches.

Leeds are next in action at the weekend, when they take on Derby County at the iPro Stadium.
