"It's an interesting link this one, I don't think there's a lot that know about Sissokho really. He's been playing in Israel with Maccabi Tel Aviv. He's played in Champions League qualifiers, the Europa League as well. So he's got a decent European pedigree. I think obviously, like you've said, maybe people are surprised that Leeds are in the market for midfielders because I think their midfielder has been okay this season."
"He has the physicality to thrive in English football, and he could help Leeds United improve. They have looked quite vulnerable defensively, and they need a reliable defensive midfielder who can help them tighten up at the back. The 23-year-old midfielder will protect the back and allow the creative players to operate with more freedom. The opportunity to join Leeds United will be quite exciting for the midfielder as well. It would be a major step up in his career."
Leeds United are interested in signing 23-year-old Malian midfielder Issouf Sissokho from Maccabi Tel Aviv to add quality and depth in midfield. Sissokho has Champions League qualifier and Europa League experience with Maccabi Tel Aviv and possesses the physicality suited to English football. He has 18 months remaining on his contract, making him a potential value signing. Leeds currently field Ethan Ampadu, Anton Stach and Sean Longstaff in midfield, but they require a reliable defensive midfielder to improve defensive vulnerability. The move would represent a significant career step for Sissokho and a potential upgrade for Leeds’ midfield balance.
