Bureaucratic issues are preventing Brazilian playmaker Adryan from making his Leeds United debut.
Leeds pulled off a complex deal to snap up the attacking midfielder earlier this summer, with Flamengo, Cagliari and the player's agent all involved in the switch.
Adryan had been on loan, with a purchase option, at Italian Serie A side Cagliari from Flamengo.
However, Leeds were able to convince Cagliari to terminate the loan and Flamengo agree to a fresh loan of Adryan, with the Yorkshire giants now holding a purchase option.
Adryan has yet to play for Leeds, despite being a firm favourite of the club's hands-on owner Massimo Cellino.

According to Italian outlet Tutto Mercato, that is down to bureaucratic issues.
Indeed, a form relating to the deal is wanted by Leeds from Adryan's agent Reinaldo Pitta.
And while Pitta could send the document electronically, he has insisted on delivering it by hand.
Until it arrives at Elland Road, Adryan is unlikely to play for Leeds.
