Leeds United are reportedly considering a move for former Nottingham Forest midfielder Cheikhou Kouyate as they grapple with injuries to Ethan Ampadu and Ilia Gruev. Manager Daniel Farke is eyeing free agents, but expressed reservations about signing players out of contract this late in the season due to their lack of team training.
Leeds United could throw a Championship lifeline to Cheikhou Kouyate ́, as the Elland Road outfit weigh up a move for the former Nottingham Forest midfielder amid their injury woes. The Yorkshire Evening Post has reported that Kouyaté, who has been without a club since his summer release by Forest, is on a shortlist of free agent s under consideration by Leeds United boss Daniel Farke, following knee injuries to both Ethan Ampadu and Ilia Gruev.
After making an impression with 22 appearances and netting his first goal against Bournemouth in August 2022, he found opportunities limited after Nuno Espirito Santo took the helm, appearing mainly as a substitute before his exit after a total of 36 matches. Kouyaté boasts an extensive pedigree with 92 caps for Senegal and 291 Premier League games under his belt, featuring stints at Crystal Palace and West Ham.
