Josuha Guilavogui exit twist as new Red Bull club eye Leeds United transfer

Josuha Guilavogui is wanted by Paris FC less than three months after joining Leeds United, according to Jeunes Footeux.

The French outlet reported via their website on 15 January that Guilavogui is one of two France internationals the Ligue 2 club are targeting during the winter transfer window as they look to earn promotion.

Daniel Farke to sanction Josuha Guilavogui exit at Leeds United?

Like Paris, Red Bull own around 10 per cent of Leeds United [Yorkshire Evening Post] and it would not be a surprise to see the two clubs do business with each other.

Guilavogui is not also an important player in Daniel Farke’s side, having made just one start across all competitions since arriving on a free transfer in October.

The Whites roped the France international in on a free transfer after Ethan Ampadu and Ilia Gruev’s injuries.

However, with Ao Tanaka and Joe Rothwell impressing and Ampadu eventually regaining fitness, the 34-year-old is likely to find playing time hard to come by in the second half of the season.

But, that is not to say Farke will sanction a transfer for the experienced midfielder at this stage in the season.

Having seen two of his starting midfielders pick up serious injuries in the first half of the season, the German would not want to risk losing Guilavogui as he looks to take Leeds United back into the Premier League.
