Leeds United may still be able to sign a summer transfer target in the January window.
Daniel Farke welcomed some exciting players to Elland Road this summer – such as Largie Ramazani and Manor Solomon – but there was one man over at AC Milan who evaded the Whites.
Now – however – a deal looks like it has a great chance of materialising for Leeds United in January…
Fode Ballo-Toure trains alone after Leeds United links
A story from Foot Mercato in France claimed that Leeds United wanted to sign Fode Ballo-Toure from AC Milan before last Friday’s 11pm transfer deadline.
Farke was in the market for backup to Junior Firpo, although the £23,000-a-week man ended up staying at the San Siro after failing to find a club which suited him.
Now – according to Gazzetta dello Sport – the Senegal international is training by himself at AC Milan, who were left angered when the defender snubbed a move to Saint-Etienne this summer.
The Italian news outlet add that Divock Origi has also been banished by Paulo Fonseca as AC Milan aim to remove some deadwood from their squad.
Gazzetta dello Sport interestingly mention that Ballo-Toure wanted a move to England, so a January switch to Elland Road could certainly happen, so long as a Turkish side do not snap the 27-year-old up before their transfer deadline on Friday 13th September.
