Sky Bet Championship club Leeds United are lining up a move for Porto defender Zaidu Sanusi. The Whites have entered preliminary talks with Porto for the player, according to Africafoot.
Sanusi barely featured for Porto in the second half of last season due to injury. The left-back featured for Nigeria at the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations in Cote d’Ivoire at the start of 2024. The 27-year-old sustained an injury in his first appearance for Porto after the competition.
Sanusi has made three league appearances for the Dragons this season. Leeds United are prepared to table a €2m bid for the Nigeria international. Sanusi joined Porto from another Portuguese club Santa Clara in 2020.
The potential move to Leeds United could be a fresh start for Sanusi, who has struggled to regain his form after the injury. The Nigerian defender will be looking to revive his career and prove himself in the English Championship.
Leeds United are seeking to strengthen their squad for a potential promotion push next season. The addition of Sanusi could provide a boost to their defensive options. However, the deal is still in its preliminary stages, and negotiations with Porto are ongoing.
The transfer window is expected to be busy for Leeds United, with several players linked to the club. Sanusi’s potential move is one of the latest developments, and fans will be watching with interest to see how the transfer saga unfolds.
