Noel Whelan thinks Leeds won’t sign Jean-Kevin Augustin permanently

Former Leeds ace Noel Whelan thinks Jean-Kevin Augustin will not play for Leeds United anymore.

The 23-year-old was on loan at the club since January and his loan deal expired yesterday. Leeds have decided against a renewal and the player will not be involved in their remaining games.

The Championship outfit apparently have an obligation to sign the player if they get promoted. However, Whelan thinks such a deal is highly unlikely.

He claims that Augustin has not proven himself at the club and spending the reported £17m on him would be the worst signing in the world.
