Former Leeds United favourite Paul Robinson has endorsed a loan move in January for summer target Charles De Ketelaere.
The Whites were tracking the 21-year-old Belgian international throughout the summer window with many believing a deal would get done, only for the former Club Brugge star to make the switch to AC Milan.
Since making the £27 million pound move to the reigning Serie A champions game time has been hard to come by with the versatile forward only making 13 appearances, eight off those as a second half substitute.

The lack of regular game time at the Italian club so far this campaign has sparked hope that a move to the Yorkshire club could be reignited, something Robinson believes is on the cards, stating a second move for the Belgian as “an option.”
“He’s gone to AC Milan and can’t get games, so are Leeds in the market of players that aren’t playing? Are they looking at those types of players to strengthen their team?” Robinson told MOT Leeds News.
Having only kept two clean sheets in the Premier League, scoring goals hasn’t been the issue for Jesse Marsche’s side so far this season.
However, with Rodrigo struggling to find consistency, Patrick Bamford often battling injury troubles, and emerging talents Joe Gelhardt and Willy Gnonto yet to establish themselves as regulars, a move for De Ketelaere could be smart.
“They missed out on him previously when he was playing, and he was playing well," Robinson added. "That’s obviously a player they’ve looked at and can revisit that one. I think that one would probably work.”
