Leeds United told they should've done 'everything in their power to keep' Gjanni Alioski

Leeds United should have done 'everything in their power to keep' Gjanni Alioski last summer. That's according to former Republic of Ireland defender Ian Harte, who believes the Whites made a mistake by not keeping the North Macedonia left-back at the club.

The 30-year-old left the Whites at the end of the 2020/21 season after his contract came to an end. He decided to join Saudi Arabian side Al-Ahli and has since scored six goals in 23 appearances.

However, Alioski was a firm fans' favourite at Elland Road and was recognised for his energy and pressing, which suited him so well in Marcelo Bielsa's system. During his time at Leeds, he made 170 appearances and had a major role in their Championship-winning campaign, playing in all but seven games.
