Ibrox side Glasgow Rangers are among the favourites to sign the Leeds United man.
Thomas Christiansen has confirmed to LUTV that Leeds United attacker Souleymane Doukara will be leaving the club.
The 25-year-old forward was omitted from Tuesday night’s 5-1 win over Newport County in the League Cup.
If Doukara, who hasn’t played a minute of first-team football in any competition this season, had any future whatsoever at Elland Road, he probably would have at least been named on the bench, but Christiansen kept him out.
Asked by LUTV whether that was an indication he would be leaving, the Leeds head coach said: “Yes.”
Doukara had a decent season at the Whites under Garry Monk last season, scoring six Championship goals in 17 starts, but the writing was on the wall for him and Marcus Antonsson – who has joined Blackburn on loan – when Christiansen began snubbing them in pre-season games as the season got closer.
According to Bookmakers Bet Victor, Rangers are 4/1 to second favourites to sign the France-born attacker, who joined Leeds in 2014.
Rangers could do with an additional striking option to rival Alfredo Morelos and 37-year-old Kenny Miller in attack, but it remains to be seen who Ibrox boss Pedro Caixinha brings in – if anyone at all.
