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

Cody Drameh is the subject of interest from both Newcastle and Borussia Dortmund and they could swoop in January

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.
