Souleymane Doukara has signed a two-year contract with Turkish outfit Osmanlispor to seal the end of his stint at Leeds United.
Thomas Christiansen said earlier this week that the Senegalese was part of his plans and he was expected to feature against Newport County on Tuesday night in the EFL Cup.
However, developments over his future took place at a rapid pace when it emerged Osmanlispor were in advanced negotiations to sign him, with Rangers and Barnsley also mooted to be interested.
And the striker was pulled out of Leeds’ plans to play him in the cup game because of ongoing transfer discussions – now Doukara has completed a move to Turkey.
