The profile of striker Leeds United are now looking for as Dominic Calvert-Lewin's backup
Leeds United are in search of a new striker for Daniel Farke this transfer window.
The Whites are closing in on a deal for James Trafford from Manchester City, but there are still a few areas of concern in the squad.
Harry Wilson has signed as a free agent, while Tarik Muharemovic has completed a big-money move to LS11.
The Elland Road hierarchy are in search of a new number nine to serve as back-up to Dominic Calvert-Lewin.
Lukas Nmecha was behind the former Everton centre-forward in the pecking order last season, while Joel Piroe struggled for minutes.
Paraag Marathe and 49ers Enterprises are showing ambition with their transfer business and want to build a competitive squad for the upcoming campaign.
Who Leeds United will target after missing out on Carlos Espi
MOT Leeds News covered reports of Leeds' interest in Carlos Espi, but the 21-year-old Spanish striker has joined Real Madrid from Levante.
It's clear that the Whites are in search of a new number nine for Farke at Elland Road.
According to YEP on 31 July, the West Yorkshire outfit are expected to continue looking for a new centre-forward.
The Peacocks have their eyes on the "younger end of the market" to provide cover for Calvert-Lewin in the squad.
Daniel Farke's other transfer priorities at Elland Road
Apart from a new striker, Leeds should focus on signing a few players in the backline.
The addition of a new full-back would make sense, with Gabriel Gudmundsson the only natural senior left-back at Farke's disposal.
In the middle of the park, the German manager has enough options unless someone decides to leave.
In the attack, Wilson will surely provide much-needed quality off the right-wing, while Noah Okafor can hopefully continue his fine run on the opposite side.
Despite Trafford's imminent arrival at Elland Road, one can't help but feel the West Yorkshire outfit need another goalkeeper.
Lucas Perri seems to be pushing for a way out of LS11 and the Peacocks may need to look for a number two to support the Man City shot-stopper next season.
