Largie Ramazani ‘finished at Leeds’ as £1.7m development emerges
Largie Ramazani has been frozen out for the majority of the season at Leeds United.
Daniel Farke has been reluctant to trust the Belgian to make an impact in the Whites’ promotion push in the Championship despite his £10million arrival last summer.
The 24-year-old made just seven starts in the second tier, scoring six times and assisting twice and it is unlikely that his playing time will increase in the Premier League after a new development.
Leeds ready Djenepo bid as overhaul starts
Leeds are to be active in the transfer market as the 49ers back Farke to complete a squad overhaul in order to ensure survival.
It has been claimed that the Whites hold an interest in former Southampton star Moussa Djenepo and are set to launch a bid for the African attacker.
The report from Africa Foot (3 May) states that the Yorkshire outfit are willing to pay the £1.7m release clause in his contract with Antalyaspor to bring him back to England.
Djenepo development to lead to Ramazani exit
The fact that the Championship winners are heading into the market for a new winger does not bode well for the former Manchester United academy star.
He has been unable to establish himself as a regular starter in the second tier, there is little chance of him suddenly changing Farke’s mind as the Whites head into a tense survival battle that could define their future and the German’s job security.

At this point, it may be the best outcome for both parties if the ex-Almeria winger moves on; his time at Thorp Arch has been a small failure, and the club is already very well stocked on the wings.
Dan James has been one of the standout players this campaign, with Manor Solomon, who seems set to make his loan from Tottenham permanent this summer, also emerging as a star man for Farke.
If Djenepo arrives in Yorkshire, it would put the writing on the wall for the Belgium youth international, as he would surely be even lower in the pecking order and need to seek a move away to secure regular minutes.
