Leeds were first linked to winger in 2015.
Fulham’s summer spending spree has meant a number of the players who helped win promotion have been pushed to the sidelines.
One of those is winger Floyd Ayite, who has not been selected to start a single Premier League game this season.
Ayite started 24 times for Fulham last season and clubs should begin taking an interest in a summer move.
One of those should be Leeds United, who are pushing for promotion and are limited in their wide options.
Ezgjan Alioski has been inconsistent, loanee Jack Harrison has not really kicked on, and teenager Jack Clarke is too young to be depended on as a weekly starter.
Ayite, 29, could be a smart short term option for the Whites on a loan deal.
In two Championship seasons he combined for 13 goals and nine assists, and would require no adjustment to the division.
He would also have a big point to prove. Leeds’ move for Wolves’ off-cast Barry Douglas has provided positive results.
Ayite was linked to Leeds three back in 2015, when Uwe Rosler was in charge, with talkSPORT reporting he left Bastia to join Rennes instead.
If the Whites still retain any interest, there is a strong chance they could succeed in persuading Fulham to let him go.
