French striker Jean-Kevin Augustin has sent an emotional message to Leeds United fans on Twitter after joining Nantes. The Paris Saint-Germain academy graduate joined the Elland Road in January on loan for the rest of the season, and an option to buy if Leeds secured Premier League promotion was included in the deal. Augustin constantly struggled with fitness and injuries during his time at Yorkshire, featuring in just 49 minutes of first-team football before returning to France ahead of the restart in June. Leipzig insist Leeds are obligated to pay them £18 million for Augustin’s permanent services due to the clause, and a legal battle is now on the cards after the Whites refused.
