A permanent exit for Cody Drameh next month has been virtually ruled out by Jesse Marsch in the clearest indication yet there is a future at Leeds United for the right-back. Marsch even hinted the Whites should be paving the way for the 21-year-old now, not just in the future.
Drameh memorably sought first-team football at Cardiff City at the start of this year despite Marcelo Bielsa’s indications there might be chances in an injury-ravaged Leeds side. After choosing to stay and fight for his place this summer, Drameh failed to oust Rasmus Kristensen or Luke Ayling and another January switch looked likely.
However, after being consistently impressed with the former Fulham youth over the past month, Marsch has intimated Drameh won’t be going anywhere for good. It’s a part of a wider conversation going on with the club’s younger faces about whether loans would suit them next month.
