Leeds United

On 30 August 2014, after speaking highly of Adryan,

Leeds United president and former Cagliari owner Massimo Cellino negotiated a deal with his former club to terminate Adryan's loan deal,[11] taking him to the Elland Road club on a season-long loan with the option of a permanent move,[12] with an agreed transfer price of around £3 million.[13] Adryan was given the number 9 shirt for the 2014–15 season.[14]

Adryan made his Leeds debut as a substitute against

Norwich City, providing an assist for teammate Souleymane Doukara's equaliser.[16] He followed this up against Blackpool with four key passes, two key dribbles and an assist.[17][18]

On 29 November of the same year, Adryan had perhaps his most memorable act: a spectacular
