Leeds United could now sign two strikers in brand new Victor Orta transfer blitz
Leeds United could now sign two attackers in this window in a new Victor Orta transfer blitz, according to Graeme Bailey this week.
The 90min journalist has reported that on top of a striker, the Whites could also look for another face that can play across the front three behind that number nine.
With Rodrigo not hitting the heights expected, another number 10 is mentioned despite the arrival of Brenden Aaronson from RB Salzburg this summer.
Speaking to the One Leeds Fan YouTube channel, Bailey shared the issue in this current squad that may now need to be addressed in the coming weeks.
“Obviously a striker is a big one,” he said.
“You could maybe want another attacker as well who could play across the front three as well because I think the problem is the wingers you have got, they are proper wide men, you don’t see them playing in-behind.”
Small chance.
All of this talk has come from nowhere, with no real mention that Leeds could go all out.
Jesse Marsch will no doubt be happy with Aaronson and Rodrigo in that number 10 role, with two international players available should they hit the ground running next season.
A new striker is the priority, everyone knows that now, it has been made very clear.
It appears as though it will be coming down to either Charles De Ketelaere and Arnaud Kalimuendo, with no other real mention of other attackers.
Orta is now no doubt working in overdrive with the squad on their way back from Australia, and a new face will be wanted before the Premier League season starts.
We do not see two new attackers arriving, but instead one and then a push to bring in a left-back to cover the absence of Junior Firpo and Stuart Dallas.
There will be no blitz as things stand, but things can always change.
