Leeds United midfielder Mateusz Bogusz has suggested he may look to leave the club on-loan next season, and says he has had opportunities to do so previously, as he looks to secure regular first-team football for himself.

Bogusz, who joined Leeds from Ruch Chorzow in his native Poland last January, has so made just a single first-team appearance for the Whites, in a League Cup clash with Stoke City back in August.

That lack fo first-team football is something that Bogusz appears determined to change sooner rather than later, even if it means securing a temporary move away from Elland Road.

Speaking to Polish outlet Wezslo about his future at the club, Bogusz said: “(My goal next season is to) start playing in the first team in England. I don’t know if it will be in Leeds, but I miss playing at full stands for stakes.

"I would like to regularly appear in a senior team, I don’t know whether in Championship or League One. Knowing life, when Leeds will advance to the Premier League, I’ll have to look for a loan."

Discussing the opportunities he has previously had to leave the club on loan, the 18-year-old revealed: "Now they didn’t let me go, which is a shame because I had a nice opportunity to go to another club with a chance to play. I want someone to finally hear about me not only during under-23 matches."

It also seems as though Bogusz is determined to ensure that he remains in England even if he does secure that move away from Leeds, with the midfielder adding: “But I know I can do it here (in England). I even had an offer from Poland when I was here in Leeds, but even the club itself did not want me to be loaned to our league. I didn’t want it either.”

Bogusz signed a two-and-a-half-year contract with Leeds last January, a deal that secures his future at Elland Road until the end of next season.

The Verdict

I think this is a sensible approach from Bogusz.

With chances not seemingly forthcoming at Leeds at the minute, it makes sense for him to seek a loan move away from the club for a time, given the chance to improve it could offer him.

Indeed, with the potential he has shown so far, it does seem as though this would be an appropriate step for Bogusz to make, and you imagine there would be plenty of clubs interested in giving him the opportunity to do just that.
