BBC ANNOUNCEMENT :striker who was heavily linked with Leeds United during the 2025 summer transfer window is now facing an uncertain future after being told to train with his club’s under-23s side.

The decision comes as speculation over his departure intensifies, with several teams continuing to monitor his situation closely.

Leeds were strongly interested in bringing him to Elland Road earlier in the window, viewing him as a potential solution to Daniel Farke’s search for more firepower up front. Despite already adding reinforcements in attack, the Whites have been keen to secure another proven option who could both lead the line and ease the burden on their current strikers.

The player’s demotion to the youth setup is seen as a clear signal that his parent club are preparing for a possible exit. Often, such moves are made when a transfer is expected or when a player has fallen out of favour with the first-team manager. This development could hand Leeds a fresh opening if they decide to revive their interest before the transfer deadline.

Whether Leeds will move quickly to take advantage of the situation remains to be seen, but with Farke pushing for more depth in attack, this could be an opportunity too tempting to ignore. Other clubs, both in England and abroad, are also thought to be keeping tabs, which could spark a late transfer battle.
