The midfielder has recently joined Ipswich Town on loan.
Last week saw Leeds United send midfielder Toumani Diagouraga out on loan from the club to Ipswich Town.
The Frenchman joined up with the Tractor Boys on loan until the end of the season after falling out of favour at Elland Road under the management of Garry Monk.
Leeds United’s Toumani Diagouraga comes on as a substitute
Now he has confirmed to the East Anglian Daily Times that he does not expect to stay at Leeds beyond the end of the current season.
He stated that it was not ‘rocket science’ to surmise that Monk would look to move him on in the summer:
“It’s been very frustrating to say the least.
“Everything was going well last year, but it was a new manager, new ideas and sometimes you don’t fit in. The manager was very straight with me, he told me early on I was not part of his plans and I’ve just had to grin and bear it and wait for my chance to go somewhere else…
“This is the fresh start I need. I don’t know what will happen in the summer, but it’s not rocket science that he (Monk) doesn’t want me. I shouldn’t think he’ll stand in my way.”
Diagouraga was signed by former manager Steve Evans from Brentford last January. But Evans left in the summer and was replaced by Monk. The new Leeds boss completed deals for Liam Bridcutt and Eunan O’Kane in the summer whilst also placing his faith in youngsters Ronaldo Vieira and Kalvin Phillips.

That left Diagouraga and Luke Murphy, who is now on loan at Burton Albion, out of first-team contention and now it seems that they have no future at Leeds under Monk.
Leeds have gone a step further in their performances and simply put Diagouraga’s style of play does not suit.
It would surely make sense if he moves on in the summer.
