Leeds set for January nightmare as young defender wants Elland Road exit

Posted by

Leeds Live journalist Beren Cross believes Jesse Marsch is facing a bit of a January headache due to Cody Drameh’s desire to leave the club.

Drameh, 21, has been one of the Whites’ most highly-rated youth prospects, however, struggling to convince his manager he is worthy of a spot in the team’s first team, the young right-back has made just seven senior appearances.

Consequently, and with his deal up in 18 months’ time, the upcoming January transfer window could present the 21-year-old with an opportunity to leave in search of first-team football, and that is what Cross expects to happen.

Taking to Twitter recently, the Leeds journalist admitted that Marsch is facing a ‘dilemma’ regarding Drameh and that the club could lose him in the coming weeks.
