Leeds United striker Caleb Ekuban is a target for Flamurtari in Albania.
Leeds United striker Caleb Ekuban is unwanted at Elland Road – and Panorama Sport in Albania report that he could be in line for a move to Flamurtari Vlore.
The Whites have started well this season, playing a fantastic brand of football under Marcelo Bielsa, with many players thriving under the Argentinian.
However, some players have been cast aside by Bielsa and are set for the exit, with midfielder Eunan O’Kane one such player, and striker Caleb Ekuban another.
Ekuban, 24, was brought to Elland Road by director of football Victor Orta last summer, and was something of a shock signing given that he had no real goalscoring record outside of scoring 18 goals in 42 games for Partizani Tirana.
Unsurprisingly, the Italian striker struggled to make an impact with Leeds, scoring just once in 20 Championship appearances last season before being frozen out by Bielsa.
Leeds have been attempting to offload Ekuban, and although finding a suitor hasn’t been easy, their prayers may be answer imminently as a club in Albania move for the striker.
Panorama Sport in Albania report that Flamurtari Vlore have made an offer to take Ekuban on loan, paying half of his wages in the process, and have sent intermediary agent Elton Marinin – who aided Ekuban’s move to Partizani Tirana two years ago – to London to try and persuade him into a move.
Flamurtari chief Sinan Idrizi has confirmed that a move has been made for three players, one of which is Ekuban, and they are expecting an answer from the Leeds flop soon, with an Elland Road exit potentially imminent.
