# Leeds United: Ezgjan Alioski on the lookout for a new club

**It seemed like the future of Ezgjan Alioski would be [sorted](https://twitter.com/PhilHay_/status/1356512709513216000?s=20) out in the near future and he would sign an extension at Leeds United. However, the latest reports suggest the fiery left-back could be on the move soon.**

### The latest on Alioski

The North Macedonian’s contract is due to [expire](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/ezgjan-alioski/profil/spieler/129604) at the end of the campaign and according to [Football Insider,](https://www.footballinsider247.com/leeds-united-alioski-tells-agent-to-find-him-new-club/) he has told his agent to start looking for a new club ahead of the summer. This is due to the current negotiations between the player and Leeds not reaching an agreement.

### This is a big blow for Leeds

The 28 year-old, who is valued at [£3.60m](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/ezgjan-alioski/leistungsdatenverein/spieler/129604), has played 158 times for the club ([Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/ezgjan-alioski/leistungsdatenverein/spieler/129604)) and was key in the side getting promoted to England’s top flight with [five goals and five assists](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/ezgjan-alioski/leistungsdaten/spieler/129604/plus/0?saison=2019) last campaign. He has also featured [25 times](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/ezgjan-alioski/leistungsdaten/spieler/129604/plus/0?saison=2020) this season (23 in the Premier League), and scored two goals so far. His amount of game time highlights that he is still integral in Bielsa’s squad.

He has received a lot of praise this season, with [Kevin Phillips impressed](https://www.footballinsider247.com/exclusive-phillips-drools-as-leeds-plan-contract-talks-with-brilliant-28-yr-old/) over his ‘brilliant work rate’, whilst also mentioning how ‘he is a player who can unlock the door’ ([Football Insider](https://www.footballinsider247.com/exclusive-phillips-drools-as-leeds-plan-contract-talks-with-brilliant-28-yr-old/)).

Alioski possibly departing on a free transfer would be a huge blow for the club as he is clearly a very key asset and the praise he has received from pundits for his performances this season emphasise that he is a solid player at this level. Therefore the club should try and do everything possible to keep him, or at least extend his deal in the short-term so they can make a profit when he eventually leaves.
