The YEP's understanding of Leeds United's Cheikhou Kouyaté situation and Francis Coquelin speculation

Transcript

00:00It's funny, you know, it's turned into a bit of the Wild West, all this discussion

00:09of Leeds and a free agent, which is funny because this is a player who might barely

00:14play any football at all. But as you were hinting at, you know, how many medicals has

00:20he reportedly failed or passed and how many deals have been done and fallen apart? It's

00:28very, very easy, I suppose, to put out lines at a time like this and take a punt. But,

00:36you know, you do end up looking a bit stupid when the situation is still that Kouyatis

00:41remains one of a very small number that they have looked at and are looking at and considering.

00:47There was nothing imminent last night when we spoke to the club. I know there's a national

00:52newspaper report about Cochelan being invited in. That's not our understanding of the situation

00:59at present. So, it's just a wait and see. And obviously, there's no small matter of

01:05Sheffield United at Elland Road on Friday night to focus on as well for Farka. So, I

01:11expect that it'll run for a few more days at least. But we do know that there is an

01:15end point to all of this and if we reach that without an arrival, then there won't be one.
