His time with Oviedo has not been a happy one thus far, with him managing just five appearances and 132 minutes of football for the club, who currently sit 12^th in the table.

That’s led to reports that he could end his deal and return to Elland Road to try and find another club, and regular playing time elsewhere, this month.

He’s now found just that according to La Voz de Asturias, who say he is set to join Las Palmas until the end of the season.

They claim the striker will end his deal at Oviedo ‘in the next few hours’ and is already ‘packing his bags’ to head home and join Las Palmas, where he played as a youngster.

It’s stated that the operation between the three clubs is ‘about to close’ and the agreement to end one loan deal and then set up another could be announced in the ‘next few hours’.
