Oliver Sarkic has become the latest young player to leave Leeds United.

The youngster has joined Burton Albion after two years in Leeds’ academy.

Leeds signed Sarkic from Benfica B in 2017, before sending him out on loan last season to the Spanish second division.

Sarkic sent a message expressing his excitement at making the switch.

Sarkic made an instant early impression for Leeds’ under-23 side, but then trailed off and was impacted by injury.

His loan spell was not a positive one last season and his chances at Leeds looked slim to none.

This is a good move for him and gives Sarkic, 22, a chance for a clean slate, to try and prove himself as a regular in English football.
