Promise David will ‘fit perfectly in Premier League’ as Leeds want transfer – Exclusive
Leeds United are pushing to sign a new striker this summer, one who is ready to take the Premier League by storm at Elland Road.
Joel Piroe won the Championship Golden Boot alongside the title, scoring 19 goals, but Mateo Joseph and Patrick Bamford struggled and could even leave.
That is where Promise David comes in, with the Union Saint-Gilloise striker wanted in LS11 and ready to make the jump to England from Belgium, making that clear to his management already.
Paraag Marathe has already made it clear that the 49ers Enterprises are ready to spend big, and this could be the first sign of that.
Sacha Tavolieri has revealed that the Canada international would fit perfectly in the Premier League, with Daniel Farke set to make the jump next season.
Speaking exclusively to MOT Leeds News, the Belgian journalist shared that the Whites like what they see, without actively pushing yet.
“I don’t think that Leeds are pushing right now, but they are interested and like the player, though,” Tavolieri said.
“For sure, he would perfectly fit with Premier League football.”

David ready to explode in Premier League
With the pace and power unbelievable in the top flight, Piroe could be dropped deeper where he can pick the ball up and finish chances that fall to him.
That opens the door to David, with his tall stature and power enough to cause problems for any Premier League defender, which will be desperately needed next season.
Farke may have to deviate from his possession-based style to end the streak of promoted clubs being immediately relegated, so a different striker may be perfect.
With Everton striker Beto also said to be a target, it is clear what sort of striker is wanted by Leeds.
Whether or not the Toffees powerhouse is number one on the shortlist remains to be seen, but it looks as though a fallback is already in place, with David next in line at Elland Road.
