Leeds United fans will love Joel Piroe after new January transfer reveal
Joel Piroe leaving Leeds United in the winter transfer window certainly won’t come as a surprise to many fans.
The Dutchman was pivotal in helping the Whites win the Championship last season, but has become a bit-part player this time around.
It doesn’t seem like Daniel Farke trusts Piroe, and it wouldn’t be surprising to see the forward push for a move away in January.
Dominic Calvert-Lewin is finally showing his Premier League quality at Elland Road, giving the West Yorkshire outfit much to think about in terms of incomings and outgoings in the coming weeks.
Joel Piroe to fight for his place at Leeds United
Leeds have no intention of selling Piroe despite his lack of minutes this season, according to The Athletic.
The news outlet reports on 18 December that the Whites acknowledge their lack of squad depth at Elland Road and want to sign players rather than lose them.
As for Piroe, it’s been claimed that he has no intentions to leave the West Yorkshire outfit either, and the 26-year-old has hope that he’ll get his opportunities before the end of the season.
Supporters in LS11 will surely love the confidence and desire from the Dutch attacker to fight for his place in the starting lineup.
It would’ve been easy for Piroe to give up and throw his toys out of the pram, but the forward is instead opting to help the Peacocks in any capacity he can.
Who Daniel Farke can sign to improve squad at Elland Road
Leeds have been linked with attackers like Sevilla’s Ruben Vargas recently, and it feels like they’re gearing up to reinforce the forward line in the coming weeks.
While Calvert-Lewin and Lukas Nmecha have formed an impressive partnership under the German manager’s new system, both have been injury-prone in past seasons.
Daniel James and Willy Gnonto have also missed big chunks of the campaign so far due to fitness issues, and it may be a priority for the West Yorkshire outfit to reinforce their attack in January.
With the transfer window just days away now, fans will undoubtedly be keeping a close eye on developments in LS11.
