Journalist shares definitive message on Jaidon Anthony’s Leeds future
Luis Sinisterra has just sealed a permanent transfer in the opposite direction.
On Friday, it was confirmed that Bournemouth had agreed to sign Luis Sinisterra permanently from Leeds United, having initially acquired the Colombian on loan. It’s been reported that the Cherries will pay Leeds around £20m for the signing, ensuring that Daniel Farke’s side haven’t made a loss.
When Sinisterra moved to the Vitality Stadium last summer, Jaidon Anthony went the other way in another temporary switch. Now that the former is committed to Bournemouth, Leeds fans may naturally have been wondering about what it means for the latter.
Anthony won’t be joining Leeds despite Sinisterra transfer
Well, Tom Crocker, a journalist for the Bournemouth Echo, has bluntly dashed the hopes of any Leeds fans who thought the move could trigger a permanent deal for Anthony.
He’s clarified that Sinisterra’s exit will have no impact on the Englishman, whose loan deal doesn’t include an option to buy. As it stands, he’s due to return to the south coast for pre-season when we come to July.
Permanent move unlikely after January rumours
Anthony has made 24 appearances for Leeds since the effective swap deal, but Farke has only named him in the starting line-up for two league games. The German has much preferred to use him in the capacity of substitute, bringing him on a whopping 19 times, at least three more than anybody else in the squad (as you can see in the table below).
