Leeds United-linked transfer target Nicolas Raskin has hit out at Les Sports journalist Kevin Sauvage after he tweeted a story about Raskin's contract dispute with Belgian Pro League club Standard Liege.
The 21-year-old has been of reported interest to the Whites and with his contract expiring at the end of the season, Liege have decided to try and sell him after Raskin declined to sign a new deal.
Since then, Liege have reportedly demoted Raskin down to their B-team while trying to find offers for him away from the Maurice Dufrasne Stadium.

Dutch outlet Voetbal Nieuws report that other than Leeds, there are multiple clubs across Europe interested in the youngster including Club Brugge, SC Braga, Genoa, Fiorentina, Marseille, Lille and Rangers, who have all been named as 'potential buyers' but also note that Raskin would 'prefer' a move to England.
But while the transfer rumours swirl, the midfielder himself denied all rumours of him being offered a larger deal to try and keep him in Belgium on social media. The original post by Sauvage simply read: "Nicolas Raskin, the end clap: Standard offered him a big contract" along with a link to the story on the Les Sports website.
Raskin didn't take too kindly to the article however, and quote tweeted Sauvage's post with the caption: "So Kevin I invite you to show everyone this famous contract" along with a clown emoji.
Whether this will make Leeds look at him differently or not isn't currently known - however it clearly seems to suggest Raskin is close to on his way out of Standard Liege and will undoubtedly be up for sale in the New Year.
