Spanish newspaper Marca claim FC Midtjylland striker Sory Kaba wants to join La Liga side Las Palmas this summer, in a blow to Leeds United,
West Brom, Cardiff, Watford and other Championship clubs said to be interested in him.
Kaba, 28, caught the eye last season when the Guinea star was loaned to Cardiff in January. He scored a wonderful eight goals in 17 games for Cardiff,
playing a key role in keeping the Bluebirds in the Championship. Finishing, 21st.
He has returned to Midtjylland where he is playing an important role, even scoring in a Europa Conference League qualifier. But he has 12 months
left on his deal. Spanish site UD Las Palmas.Net first said that Leeds were looking.
But so were Cardiff and Watford. The Express & Star said Carlos Corberan’s West Brom were keen. The latest news came from The Telegraph’s Mike
McGrath. He said Watford are on pole, ahead of multiple sides for the £2m star.
However, a new update comes from Spain. Marca state that Las Palmas – newly promoted back to Spain’s top tier – remain in talks with Midtjylland.
They are confident of getting a deal done – as Kaba’s dream is to play in La Liga.
Sory Kaba wants to join Las Palmas in a blow to Leeds and West Brom
Leeds still need a striker this summer. Georginio Rutter, Patrick Bamford and Mateo Joseph all suffered injuries last week and it meant Leeds had
just Joe Gelhardt to call on. Bamford cannot be relied upon and Joseph is unproven.
Gelhardt is better as more of a 10, or playing off a nine. So, Leeds need a centre-forward before the summer is out and at £2m, Kaba would have been
a bargain addition. A proven Championship goalscorer, in a side that ended 21st.
But, it seems like he wants to move to Spain’s top tier. Las Palmas are calling and while the English clubs are said to be offering more money – you
can hardly blame him for wanting to play in the top-tier, instead of the Championship.

Adama Traore set to join Premier League side, and it is bad news for wantaway Leeds man – Opinion
Fulham have emerged this week as a possible route back into the Premier League for Leeds United star Wilfried Gnonto – but a move to The
Cottagers is surely over, with Marco Silva closing in on the signing of Adama Traore.
Gnonto, 19, is desperate to leave Leeds. He made himself unavailable for Wednesday night’s Carabao Cup clash against Shrewsbury Town. Plenty of
chat has been had about the Italy man’s future at Elland Road this summer.
Dean Jones has told Give Me Sport that Fulham, West Ham and Everton are all interested, though the latter are certainly showing the most
interest. Jones has also said he has been offered to Villa, who are considering a move.
But a few hours after those reports emerged, The Athletic say that Fulham are set to complete the signing of free agent – and long-term Leeds target
– Traore. A move that will see him reunite with striker Raul Jimenez at Fulham.
Fulham emerged as route for Gnonto but they are closing in on Traore
It is a brilliant move for Traore. A player that has never really got going at Wolves – despite a loan spell at Barcelona. He has been linked with Spurs
for years but now a free agent, he had been struggling to find himself a new club.
Now, he is off to Fulham – on the day the Premier League campaign returns. For Gnonto, he is keen to go and a move to Fulham would have been
brilliant for him. Silva has lost numerous wingers, including Leeds star Dan James.
Willian is set for Saudi Arabia, while Manor Solomon has moved to Tottenham. So, Fulham needed a winger and Gnonto might have seen it as a
move he would have jumped at. But, it looks like they are going for Traore instead.
