Drameh to seek Leeds 'assurances'


Thursday 24th March 2022



Cody Drameh is set to seek assurances over playing time if he is to stay at Leeds United next season, according to our sister title LeedsLive.

There could well be another loan exit on the cards for the Leeds loanee, which you can read more about here, with the Elland Road club set to bolster in wing-back areas in the summer. Quite where that leaves Drameh is anyone's guess, although Cardiff will certainly be keeping a keen eye on proceedings up in Yorkshire, that's for sure.

He has been superb since joining the Bluebirds in January, showcasing a freakish talent to cover ground incredibly quickly while adding a much-needed forward threat to Cardiff's right flank. It begs the question why Leeds let him leave in the first place, although it was Drameh who forced through the move, with Marcelo Bielsa thought to be keen on keeping him around the squad as they fought for Premier League survival.

There is a new man in the dugout now, of course, in Jesse Marsch. The American is going to want to take a closer look at him in pre-season, according to Beren Cross at LeedsLive, while Drameh himself will want to know where he stands because, as we've seen, he is not averse to taking his future into his own hands.

"I certainly believe they will take another close look at Drameh in the summer," Cross said. "From what I have read, he is excelling in the Championship with Cardiff City. Bielsa was very open to allowing the right-back to do what he wanted. If he wanted to go, Bielsa did not want to force him to stay.

"I wonder what approach Marsch and [director of football Victor] Orta will take in the summer if they do want Drameh to stick around in 22/23. Based on his attitude to this Cardiff move, he is going to want some assurances on how much he will play if he is to stay at Leeds next season."

Wait and See .....
