Toumani Diagouraga looks set to leave Leeds United this summer.
According to the Yorkshire Evening Post, Leeds United midfielder Toumani Diagouraga has been left out of the club’s squad for the journey to Austria – and is now seeking a new club.
The Whites have brought in a total of eight new signings this summer, with Felix Wiedwald, Vurnon Anita, Madger Gomes, Mateusz Klich, Samu Saiz, Hadi Sacko, Ezgjan Alioski and Caleb Ekuban all arriving.

However, players will now need to leave Elland Road in order to make room for the new additions, with two players already heading for the exit door.
The Yorkshire Evening Post report that, not only has Lee Erwin been told to find a new club, but midfielder Toumani Diagouraga is also searching for a transfer having been excluded from the club’s trip to Austria.
Diagouraga, 30, was a key signing for Steve Evans in the January 2016 transfer window, scoring two goals in 19 games before Garry Monk took charge – and the French midfielder’s fortunes changed for the worse.
After starting the first game of last season – the 3-0 defeat at QPR – Diagouraga was completely frozen out and later sent on loan to Ipswich Town as Monk made him something of an outcast at Elland Road.

Whilst the former Brentford man may have been hoping for a fresh start under Monk’s replacement, Thomas Christiansen, he has now been left out of the trip to Austria.
Diagouraga is now believed to be actively seeking his next club as he prepares for another move, with his time at Leeds ultimately set to come to an end this summer.
