Leeds United face fresh Largie Ramazani dilemma amid latest Valencia developments
Largie Ramazani has impressed on loan at Valencia.
Even last season in the Championship, many fans thought that Ramazani had been treated poorly, given the lack of game time he was given.
The Belgian made just seven starts for Leeds in the Championship with a total of 782 minutes played, and yet he still managed to register six goals and two assists.
His lack of involvement continued throughout the summer, before the Whites sanctioned a loan move to Valencia, where he has since impressed.
And while Leeds will be happy with the progress he has made there, his recent form will throw up a dilemma in regard to his future at Elland Road this summer.
How has Largie Ramazani fared at Valencia?
Playing under former Leeds coach Carlos Corberan, Ramazani has certainly enjoyed his time in LaLiga.
The 25-year-old has registered four goals and two assists in 19 appearances across all competitions, though only a handful of those games have been from the start.
Ramazani is averaging a goal involvement every 91 minutes in LaLiga, and with three goals in his last three games, he is certainly finding his best form.
He is averaging 1.77 completed dribbles per 90, which places him in the top 12 per cent of LaLiga wingers, while also creating 1.18 chances per game.
And for Leeds, that can only be a good thing ahead of his anticipated return to Elland Road in the summer, regardless of the outcome.

Ramazani form is set to benefit Leeds this summer
There are two ways that this could play out for Leeds.
The first scenario sees the Belgian return to Elland Road and reintegrate into the side ahead of what many hope will be another Premier League campaign.
And the second scenario would see him sold to Valencia permanently, and likely for a pretty healthy fee.
Reports from Spain have emerged this week stating that Corberan’s side are struggling to agree on a price for the winger, with negotiations likely to last until the summer transfer window.
Given Daniel Farke’s lack of fancy towards him, the latter option is certainly looking the most likely, regardless of what he achieves between now and the end of the campaign.
Ramazani certainly has the quality to play in the Premier League, but whether that feeling is mutual remains to be seen.
