The Leeds United-owner winger, Hadi Sacko, has apologised to his former loan club after leaving them for a new one this week.

Sacko will spend the rest of this season with the Turkish side, Ankaragucu, having struggled to make an impact with Spain’s Las Palmas.

Posting on Instagram on Wednesday, the £1.5 million Leeds recruit [Transfermarkt] wrote: “Sorry as it didnt wok as i wanted @udlaspalmasoficial wishing u the best and thank you for the welcome. New destination @ankaragucu”

Sacko was one of several players culled by Leeds following last summer’s arrival of Marcelo Bielsa as manager.

But the 24-year-old’s fortunes failed to improve in Gran Canaria, where he only played 97 minutes of football spread across five appearances.

He will hope to fare better in Turkey, where Leeds strikers present – Caleb Ekuban – and past – Souleymane Doukara – are thriving this season.

Sacko has scored or made seven goals in 60 games for Leeds, where his contract has 18 months left to run.
