Hadi Sacko hasn’t played a single Championship game under Marcelo Bielsa and he’s reportedly heading to the Turkish Super Lig.
Hadi Sacko’s Leeds United career could be over by the end of the week with Hurriyet reporting that he is on the verge of a move to Turkish Super Lig newcomers Denizlispor.
The Roosters won the second division last season and are now preparing for life in the Super Lig for the first time since 2010 with former Wigan Athletic striker Hugo Rodallega expected to be the first marquee signing at the Denizli Ataturk Stadium.
And Rodallega could potentially form an exciting partnership with the rapid Sacko in the Turkish top flight.
Hurriyet claims that the Malian international is on his way to Denizlispor after spending the second half of last season on loan at Ankaragucu, scoring three times in 15 games. It is expected that Sacko will be unveiled by the end of the week.
And this will bring an end to his three year spell as a Leeds United player.
The winger arrived at Elland Road from Sporting Lisbon in 2016, initially on loan before joining permanently for £1.5 million (YEP).
But he fell out of favour as soon as Garry Monk bid farewell, failing to force his way into the club’s first team plans under either Paul Heckingbottom or Marcelo Bielsa. Sacko hasn’t played a single game under Bielsa and that is unlikely to change.
In truth, the 25-year-old’s impending exit reflects the change of attitude at Elland Road. With the likes of Caleb Ekuban and Paudie O’Connor already being forced out this summer, mediocrity is clearly no longer accepted at a club with genuine Premier League ambitions.
