Leeds United have successfully executed their top plan for the transfer window by securing Largie Ramazani and are now shifting their focus towards signing a new striker, according to Fabrizio Romano.
The renowned Italian transfer expert revealed to GiveMeSport that Leeds’ main priority is bringing in a forward to bolster their attacking options. With Patrick Bamford sidelined once again and Joel Piroe struggling for form, Daniel Farke has turned to Mateo Joseph as his main man up top for the season.
Despite losing Georginio Rutter to Brighton, Leeds are determined to strengthen their attacking lineup. Ramazani’s swift acquisition was key to their strategy, as they aimed to secure a winger quickly. The negotiations for Ramazani were conducted quietly but efficiently, leading to a rapid agreement between the clubs and the player.
The next task at hand for Leeds is securing a quality striker, with Romano indicating that the club will be actively pursuing this objective in the coming days. While Bamford’s immediate future at the club seems secure, there have been speculations regarding potential exits for him and Piroe, but time is running out before the transfer deadline.
Joseph’s impressive display in the recent victory over Sheffield Wednesday has highlighted his potential importance to Leeds’ attacking plans. However, the departure of Rutter and Summerville has created a void in terms of goal-scoring, prompting the club’s pursuit of a proven scorer.
In addition to Ramazani, Leeds have also brought in Manor Solomon on loan from Tottenham and are looking to finalize a permanent deal for Roland Sallai from Freiburg. Furthermore, the club is actively pursuing FC Koln midfielder Dejan Ljubicic, indicating a flurry of activity on the transfer front.
Despite these moves, the priority remains on securing a striker to lead the line for Leeds United in the upcoming campaign. The pursuit of a new forward may overshadow all other transfer dealings as the club looks to strengthen their attacking options for the season ahead.
