The Hungarian international has been rumoured with several moves away from Barnsley this summer, with Nottingham Forest and Greek side Olympiacos credited with interest. Despite being told he can leave Oakwell before the close of the window, the 22-year-old has featured in both of the Tykes’ League One games against Plymouth and Cheltenham. Photo: George Wood
