When it comes to summer signings and rumours, Leeds United fans in particular know how stressful things can be. Ever since Marcelo Bielsa arrived, too, Leeds have enjoyed a higher profile internationally. This leads to the clubs name being used to advertise new signings and potential pick-ups from across the game. From young Georgian wing wizards to playmakers from across La Liga, Leeds are regularly used now as part of transfer discourse. One player they have long been linked to, though, is already in England.

While Ezgjan ‘Gianni’ Alioski might be moving on from Leeds, he will remain a beloved player for the club. He was a crucial part of both Premier League promotion and then their season of comfortable play in the top-flight. However, with a deal not agreed, the 29-year-old will depart on a free transfer. Fans were worried that links with Galatasaray might go somewhere, but it looks like this might not happen now due to a manner of reasons.
