The Argentine striker joined up with Leeds in 2008 after leaving Merida. He scored 86 goals in 221 games for the club before leaving to join Norwich City in controversial circumstances.

His time in Norfolk was a disaster and he went on to spend time on loan under the management of former Leeds boss Steve Evans at Rotherham United.

Since then he has returned to Argentina and had another spell at Rotherham United but currently finds himself a free agent.

Based in Spain, he recently went on trial at Coventry City but failed to win a deal with the League One strugglers.

Throughout the years since he left Leeds the 32-year-old has often been linked with a cult heroes return to Elland Road.

However, no deal has ever been near to being done.

Injuries and age have probably made Becchio a class below Leeds United these days and it would be unlikely to see him back at the club in the future.

But Leeds fans would certainly love to see him back in English football.
