Farke is keen to sign a “real threat” for Leeds.

Leeds United manager Daniel Farke is looking to bring in a new forward as he attempts to lead his club to promotion from the Sky Bet Championship.

According to journalist Ben Jacobs, Leeds United have found a ‘problem’ in their pursuit of a prolific Sky Bet Championship goalscorer this summer as Daniel Farke seeks promotion to the Premier League.

What is the most recent Leeds United transfer news?

According to Transfermarkt, Leeds United have gradually begun to enter the transfer market and have made four acquisitions in the form of Karl Darlow, Ethan Ampadu, Sam Byram, and Joe Rodon.

Nonetheless, the Whites are in a vulnerable position in terms of departures, with numerous key assets from last season departing on loan or permanently, including Brenden Aaronson, Rasmus Kristensen, Marc Roca, Max Wober, and Rodrigo Moreno.

According to BBC Sport, Jack Harrison has also departed Elland Road to join Premier League outfit Everton on a season-long loan move despite being sidelined with a hip injury.

According to the Daily Mail, Leeds United attacker Wilfried Gnonto is still a target for Everton as Sean Dyche contemplates a double raid on the Whites to improve his squad; nevertheless, the Kettering-born coach had a proposal in the region of £15 million rejected for the Italy international in July.

Outgoings will, of course, provide an opportunity for new players to join Farke‘s team in the future, and Football Insider has learned that Swansea City striker Joel Piroe is on his radar at Elland Road this window.

Southampton are also interested in the Dutchman, though his current employers may want to extract a fee of between £15 and £20 million before agreeing to any potential move from the Swansea.com Stadium.

Piroe, dubbed a “real threat,” has started 2023/24 in fine form, scoring two goals in three games for Swansea City in all competitions, according to Transfermarkt.

According to writer Jacobs, Piroe‘s £20 million price tag has become a stumbling block in Leeds United’s pursuit of the 24-year-old.

“I think Leeds would like a striker,” Jacobs said. I believe they require a goalscorer to come in and ensure that their firepower is maintained, but this is not certain.

Joel Piroe has been linked from Swansea, but I believe that price has always been an issue there, even though Leeds are very genuine.”

Who else could Leeds United look to sign this summer?

Leeds United are considering a deal for Aston Villa teenager Cameron Archer, according to Last Word on Sports, as their search for a new striker increases.

Everton striker Tom Cannon, according to journalist Alan Nixon on Patreon, might potentially be courted as a solution to give Farke greater depth in the offensive areas.

According to La Nazione, Bayer Leverkusen and Dinamo Zagreb have joined the Whites in their pursuit of Venezia forward Joel Pohjanpalo.

Leeds United, Leicester City, Burnley, and Saudi Arabian teams are all interested in signing West Bromwich Albion winger Grady Diangana, who might be available for a fee of over £7 million this summer, according to The Express & Star.
