Leeds United make Kelechi Iheanacho transfer decision, Sevilla exit on cards
Leeds United are highly unlikely to sign Sevilla striker Kelechi Iheanacho in the winter transfer window, according to LeedsLive.
The news outlet reports (17 January) that the Whites will not make a move for the former Manchester City centre-forward before the 3 February deadline.
Daniel Farke’s team are aware that the 28-year-old could leave the La Liga outfit in the coming weeks.
The Peacocks are alert to opportunities in the winter window, but nothing is expected to happen with Iheanacho.
Leeds United need Kelechi Iheanacho-style transfer
The Whites evidently need to reinforce their attack soon after Joel Piroe picked up an injury.
With the Dutch forward set to miss the next few weeks, it will be prudent for the West Yorkshire outfit to bolster their front line.
Mateo Joseph will likely be relied on in the coming fixtures, but the Spanish youngster hasn’t convinced many fans after being handed several opportunities at the start of the season.
Leeds have a dilemma regarding the number nine position, with Patrick Bamford seemingly out of Farke’s plans after starting zero games in the Championship in the current campaign.
Piroe has been relied on to score goals at the Whites, and it will be interesting to see who will take the burden while the 25-year-old is on the sidelines.
Iheanacho’s prospects have dwindled since his Man City days, but the West Yorkshire outfit need someone with Premier League pedigree.
The Peacocks are the favourites to win promotion this season and need to make the appropriate additions in the transfer windows.
