Nigerian left-back Zaidu Sanusi is being linked with a move from Porto to Leeds, with the Premier League club named as a potential destination for the 29-year-old on 29 October 2026.
Sanusi currently plays for Porto in Liga Portugal and has been identified as a possible target for Leeds as the English club considers a move for a player with experience at one of Portugal’s leading sides. The rumour would see him switch from Portugal’s top flight to the Premier League, while taking on a new challenge outside his current domestic competition.
The defender’s listed market value is €3m, giving an indication of the financial scale of the potential transfer. No probability has been attached to the rumour, and the move has not been presented as completed.
Sanusi’s age means he would arrive as an established first-team player rather than a development signing, although the available details do not include a proposed fee or the stage of any discussions between the clubs. His contract with Porto is due to expire on 30 June 2027, so Leeds would need to negotiate a transfer rather than wait for him to become a free agent. For now, Sanusi remains a Porto player under contract through the end of the 2026-27 season.
