Max Gradel played the final game of his loan spell at Leeds United this week - and the youngster is now waiting to learn whether or not his stay will be extended.

United boss Simon Grayson has made no secret of his desire to keep the winger for a longer-period, and the player says he has enjoyed his month with Leeds.

"I've been very happy here," said Max. "The players, manager, staff, and the fans have made it very easy for me.

"I'm happy because I've been playing football, and I would be happy to stay.

"I need to speak to my club and the manager at Leicester, and we will see what is the best thing for me to do going forward.

"I don't know what Leicester will do. I just want to play football, but any decision isn't down to me."

Max made his first start in Leeds colours against Grimsby Town in the JPT on Tuesday, after making four sub appearances in the league. It was his shot which was deflected for our opening goal, and Max played a key role in the 3-1 victory.

"It was a tough game," said Max. "They came here to impress their manager and it was a tough test.

"We had to keep our discipline right and we got a good victory."
