‘He’ll push for exit’ – Leeds defender could now look to leave in January

Leeds United right-back Cody Drameh could be looking to push his way away from Elland Road in the January transfer window.

That’s according to Leeds United fan and presenter Joe Wainman, who has been speaking in his latest YouTube video about Jesse Marsch’s headache at right back.

The American coach added Rasmus Kristensen to his squad over the summer, who has been the starting right-back so far this campaign and his backup is likely to be Luke Ayling, who returned from injury against Brentford from the bench last time out.

This leaves Drameh with a rocky path to the top 11, and the best he can hope for is to be a backup role for Kristensen, as Ayling can move into center.

It is not known if the 20-year-old wants that, but at his age, he would like to have regular minutes so he can develop further.

Speaking about the Drameh situation, Joe Wainman said: “Now for me, Cody Drameh, I still have big questions. I said that when I saw his debut against [Gabriel] Martinelli at Arsenal.

“Yes, he did well in Cardiff, but when I have seen him both in pre-season and in the first team, there have been question marks for me, that is just my personal opinion.

“And I’m not sure Cody wants to stay, you know. I think he will push for another loan in January or maybe even move. I think his contract is coming to an end, I think he could move on.”

“I really like Luke Ayling. Look, I’d say it’s better in the middle of the back than [Diego] Llorente, for example, I [prefer] see him play there than Diego in the next game, but I asked you that question, who gets the nod?
