Leeds United came agonisingly close to securing the signature of Senegalese striker Bamba Dieng from Olympique de Marseille on deadline day but now the 22-year-old looks set to commit his future to the French club

Dieng was given a premature welcome by Leeds chairman Andrea Radrizzani earlier this season as the Italian took to Twitter to decry the Whites’ new signing, only for the Senegal international to turn down the chance to represent United in the Premier League, in favour of a switch to OGC Nice. However, Dieng’s best laid plans were torn apart when a failed medical left the Marseille forward returning to Provence with his tail between his legs.

Leeds, instead, brought forward their signing of teenager Willy Gnonto from FC Zurich after permitting Daniel James a season-long loan move to Premier League counterparts Fulham.
