Leeds winger Sacko’s loan spell at Las Palmas was nothing short of a disaster.

Turkish outlet AS Spor have reported that Leeds United winger Hadi Sacko is set to complete a loan move to Turkish SuperLig side Ankaragucu until the end of the season.

Sacko, 24, had been on loan at second-tier Spanish outfit Las Palmas during the first half of the season, but he managed just five appearances and has not managed a minute of senior football since October,.

A statement on Las Palmas’ website confirmed that the former Sporting Lisbon and Bordeaux attacker had seen his loan with Las Palmas terminated. Now, Sacko is set for his second loan spell away from Leeds.

That is after AS Spor reported that Sacko is set to join Ankaragucu on loan. They are a newly-promoted side that currently sit in 15th place out of 18, just one place above the relegation zone.

Sacko is set to join a small squad, that includes 14-time Italy international Alessio Cerci, Senegalese veteran Ricardo Faty and ex-Watford Ivory Coast cap Brice Dja Djedje. Above is a picture of Sacko at Ankaragucu’s Osmanli Stadium.

The report claims Sacko attended Ankaragucu’s disappointing 2-0 home loss to Antalyaspor on Sunday night, and a loan move is expected to be secured before Thursday’s deadline.
