Hadi Sacko has thanked Leeds United fans for their support with a farewell message on Twitter, confirming his departure from the club.
The winger's move to Denizlispor has been reported for some time, as the latest reports suggested the transfer was being delayed by United's demand for a significant fee , but it appears to have finally gone through after the Turkish club announced his signing on Twitter.
Leeds have yet to officially make a statement on the transfer or any fee, although the official account did retweet Sacko's statement.

"My Leeds family..." Sacko posted on Twitter. "It was an honour for me to have played for these colours of this great club.
"From the first day I arrived I always gave the best of myself. I thank all the people who have helped and facilitated me in the club and especially those special fans that I will never forget, I am and I always will be #MOT.
"I wish you good luck for this season, with all the success you deserve.
"We'll keep marching on together."

The winger had appeared at various levels of the French youth set-up before making senior appearances for the Mali national team, but missed this summer's Africa Cup Of Nations through injury.
A regular fixture on loan during the 2016-17 season, Sacko's appearances became less frequent for the Whites after the move from Sporting Lisbon was made permanent in the summer of 2017.
He's since spent the last two years out on loan, first at Spanish side Las Palmas before going to the Turkish Super Lig club MKE Ankaragücü last season.
