Leeds United, Derby County, Huddersfield Town, Sunderland, and Vitesse Arnhem have all been linked with an interest in midfielder Ateef Konate. According to Africafoot, Ateef Konate is a target for Leeds United after leaving Nottingham Forest. According to the article, the Whites are just one of several clubs interested in signing the 23-year-old. Derby County, Huddersfield Town, and Sunderland are all thought to be monitoring the midfielder’s position. Vitesse Arnhem, a Dutch team, is also reportedly interested in Konate.
Konate chose to depart the City Ground after failing to play a single Premier League game for Forest. The 23-year-old confirmed his resignation from Forest on Instagram, writing, “It’s time for me to say goodbye.”I’d like to thank everyone who helped me improve over the course of these four seasons. There will be ups and downs, but that is necessary for this work. I’ll remember the good for the rest of my life. “Thank you, Reds.”
Former United midfielder Carlton Palmer has advised Konate to join Championship newcomers Derby as he seeks to relaunch his career. “He needs to be playing football,” Palmer told Football League World. “It’s looking at a club where he’s going to be given the opportunity to play football.”Derby are completely reshuffling their playing squad. Sunderland has demonstrated its ability to develop young players, although they have yet to appoint a manager. Leeds United will be vying for promotion next season, and they need a forward player.
“Where would he fit in?” I think Derby could be the greatest option for Ateef; it’s just down the road from Nottingham, and Paul Warne works with young players and knows how to get the most out of them, so I believe that would be a fantastic transfer for him.”
