Leeds and Hull City are reportedly interested in the Kasimpasa striker.
Kasimpasa striker Mbaye Diagne has not ruled out a move away from his current side in an interview with Sabah, after being linked with English Championship sides Leeds United and Hull City this week.
The Daily Mirror claimed (July 17, 23:22) that both Leeds and Hull were interested in the 26-year-old hitman, who scored 12 goals in just 17 SuperLig appearances for Kasimpasa last season.
It is believed that the Senegalese target man is worth £1.5million, and will be allowed to leave the Turkish side if an offer is made in that region.
It seems as though Diagne would be interested in a move, stating that “we will see” what happens regarding his future which will excite Leeds and Hull fans, but did state that their is a chance of a renewal of his current contract at Kasimpasa.
“The reason I came back from China to Turkey, my desire to return to Europe. So I came back to Turkey after playing so in China. After I signed up at Kasimpasa, I saw everyone there very honest, loving to work and having a very nice atmosphere.
“We will see what will happen later, but it is also an option to renew contract with Kasımpaşa, but all of these depend on Kasımpaşa, depending on the the desire of the club.Then we will see what happens together.”
Leeds are in desperate need of a striker, with the mirror report suggesting that Marcelo Bielsa’s side have missed out on Britt Assombalonga, Matej Vydra, Abel Hernandez and Jonathan Kodjia this summer.
Diagne has a contract at Kasimpasa until the summer of 2021, and is already said to be in talks with Hull who are on the lookout for a new striker after the aforementioned Hernandez left at the end of his contract.
