Sunderland paid £2.5m for the former Brighton player a year ago, but despite playing 24 times for the Wearsiders last term, he is yet to feature in any of the Black Cats’ match day squads in 2015-16.
However, despite numerous clubs being linked with his signature, the Englishman made it clear on the official club website that his heart was set on Elland Road, talking up Leeds’ history.
Rosler has already admitted this season that “the white shirts can wear heavy on a few players at Elland Road” and his task is not helped by Birmingham’s current away form.
Leeds boss Uwe Rossler said of Buckley: “He brings pace, directness, goal threat and he’s a good lad”. It feels like a fresh start for me.
With Sunderland still searching for a first Premier League win after seven games, a report in the Daily Mail this morning has claimed the experience head coach could leave if three points do not arrive against the Hammers.
‘It’s important that we’re knocking on that door very hard and play the game the way we want to play the game and force our tactics on the opposition, ‘ he said.
“He has been in the Premier League”.
Cellino told BBC Radio Leeds he only speaks to them occasionally via phone, and says if he had the money available, then buying back the lease to stadium Elland Road would come first, rather than buying their shares of the club.

Oldham-born Buckley started out at Rochdale and joined Watford for an undisclosed fee in 2010 before Brighton signed him for £1million in the summer of 2011.
