Leeds United Eye 22-Year-Old Striker For January: Should Farke Sign Him Or Target An Experienced Backup?

Leeds United have received encouraging advice about a young striker who could emerge as an interesting target in January, although Daniel Farke must solve a more immediate problem at Elland Road.

The Whites allowed Joel Piroe to join West Ham on loan during the summer transfer window without bringing in a replacement. Consequently, Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Lukas Nmecha remain Farke’s two senior centre-forward options.

That decision has left Leeds short of cover in a crucial position, particularly if injuries disrupt their attacking plans during the demanding winter schedule. According to TEAMtalk, Leeds scouts watched Waterford striker Tommy Lonergan score twice during Ireland Under-21s’ 3-1 victory over England during the international break.
