The rumoured Leeds United and West Bromwich Albion target Harold Moukoudi cannot understand his manager’s decision to block a move to England this month, reports Actu Cameroon.

Moukoudi – was linked with Burnley, Derby County and Stoke City, as well as Leeds and West Brom, by L’Equipe – has only appeared six times since September for his current employers, Saint-Etienne.

But even so, it is claimed that Les Verts‘ boss Claude Puel did not wish to part with the centre-back when approaches arrived from English clubs to take him on loan.

And according to Actu Cameroon, Moukoudi ‘would not have said no to testing himself’ on this side of the Channel.

Whether Leeds or West Brom were among those who made contact over Moukoudi is not clear.

The Leeds head coach Marcelo Bielsa claimed this week that the Whites’ winter business is done.
