Leeds United must go all out to sign Martin Terrier after Charles De Ketelaere update
Leeds United are interested in signing Rennes forward Martin Terrier in the ongoing transfer window, according to L’Equipe.
The Whites have been in the market to sign an attacking player, especially after the departure of Raphinha who has joined Barcelona.
As per the latest report, Leeds are now interested in Terrier as an alternative to Charles De Ketelaere.
The report further stated that the Ligue 1 club are demanding fee in the region of £34million to let go of the French U21 international.
After the departure of Raphinha to Barcelona, Leeds have limited options when it comes to the attacking department, even with Luis Sinisterra arriving.
They only have one out-and-out senior striker Patrick Bamford ahead of Joe Gelhardt whereas there are as many as three players who can do a makeshift job.
Looking at how difficult Leeds’ previous campaign was, it is important that they ensure having enough goals in the squad to keep their Premier League status intact.
In that regard, Terrier seems to be the perfect profile for this particular role as in the 2021-22 Ligue 1 season with Rennes, he scored 21 goals and provided three assists in 37 appearances. He averaged 2.4 shots per goal, had a pass completion rate of 81% and had a rating of 7.41[Whoscored].
These numbers show that Leeds are after the right candidate and it is important that after seemingly missing out on De Ketelaere to AC Milan, they must ensure sealing the deal to bring the 25-year-old to the club.
Time to forget CDK.
