Leeds United Eye Move for Zaidu Sanusi

Leeds United are interested in signing Nigerian left-back Zaidu Sanusi, who is currently out of favour at FC Porto.

Sanusi made only five appearances for the Portuguese side across all competitions last season.

His decline in form began after he suffered a muscle injury in early 2024, which sidelined him for 10 days.

That setback was followed by a more serious cruciate ligament tear, keeping him out for 227 days and forcing him to miss 32 matches.

Porto are now open to parting ways with the 27-year-old, as he is no longer part of the club’s long-term plans. His current contract runs until June 30, 2027.

This is not the first time Sanusi has attracted interest from England. In 2023, he was linked with a move to West Ham United.

According to reports from AfricaFoot.com, Leeds are ready to table a €2 million offer for the defender.

Sanusi is known for his ability to contribute both defensively and going forward, making him a well-rounded full-back.

His last notable season came in 2022/2023, when he featured in 18 league matches and made eight appearances in the UEFA Champions League.

That season, he earned a FotMob rating of 7.04 in the Champions League and 6.73 in the Portuguese top flight.

Leeds United are actively looking to bolster their backline as they aim to improve their chances of staying in the Premier League, and Sanusi has emerged as a key target in that effort.
