He will aim to get his stuttering career back on track with regular appearances at English clubs. If he can help Leeds United stay in the Premier League, he could establish himself as a reliable performer in the top flight. That could help him secure a big move in the future.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">It is clear that the player now needs a fresh start. It will be interesting to see if Leeds are able to secure his signature in the coming weeks.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">He is under contract with AC Milan until 2029, but the Italian side would need to accept a reasonable contract for a move to take place. Leeds United will not be able to pay a premium for him.
