Leeds United's hopes of completing a January deal for Charles De Ketelaere have been dashed by AC Milan boss Stefano Pioli after he revealed the attacker will be given time to adapt at the San Siro.
Having netted 14 goals and provided nine assists in a stunning 2021/2022 campaign with Club Brugge, Leeds were believed to be strongly in the hunt for De Ketelaere's signature during the summer window.
Despite eventually losing out to the Italian giants in August, the Whites were handed, what now appears to be false, hope of resurrecting a move for the Belgian sensation. Reports claimed that Leeds had asked to be kept informed by Milan over their intentions for the forward.
