Leeds United set to sign striker as transfer bid update emerges
Leeds United are prioritising a move for a new centre forward after securing promotion to the Premier League.
Despite being the leading scorers in the Championship and having the Golden Boot winner in Joel Piroe in their squad, the Whites are keen on a striker.
Daniel Farke will want to avoid relegation from the Premier League after struggling in his last two stints at Norwich.
Leeds United to make concrete bids for new strikers soon
Leeds are considering a number of strikers in this transfer window as they want someone who can score goals regularly in the top flight.
The likes of Callum Wilson and Jamie Vardy have been mentioned, given their previous Premier League experience.
| Leeds | Games | Goals | Assists |
| Piroe | 46 | 19 | 7 |
According to Sky Sports’ Sacha Tavolieri, it’s certain that the Whites will be bringing in a new striker this summer.
He claimed on 9 June that concrete offers will be tabled soon by the Elland Road outfit in their quest to sign a new striker.
They’re eyeing a physical presence inside the box who can be a goal threat in England’s first tier.
Vladyslav Vanat could be a good signing for the Elland Road outfit
Leeds United certainly will be considering multiple striker options before they make their final decision this summer.
While Piroe has done decently in the Championship, expecting him to get double digits in the Premier League might be a tad unrealistic.
Leeds are considering Vladyslav Vanat and he could be a decent option to rope in this summer.
The Dynamo Kyiv striker has been scoring regularly for his club and he could be signed by the 49ers for a £16.8m transfer fee, which is his release clause.
He bagged 21 goals in 43 appearances last season but also provided eight assists, showcasing his all-round ability in the final third.
At that price, the 23-year-old Ukrainian striker is a steal and Farke would undoubtedly want someone like him to lead the line.
As bids are expected soon, the hierarchy certainly will be discussing whether or not to make a lowball bid for Vanat first and see if Kyiv are willing to negotiate.
