Daniel Farke is on the cusp of solving the Leeds United promotion puzzle with a couple of key transfers. Despite Joel Piroe’s impressive goal-scoring record, the lack of other players hitting double-digit goals could become an issue for the team.
While Dan James, Brenden Aaronson, and Manor Solomon have contributed to the goal tally, it seems like a true No.9 is needed to strengthen the squad. With Emmanuel Latte Lath possibly heading to Atlanta United, Leeds have turned their sights to Kelechi Iheanacho as a potential solution.
Iheanacho, a former FA Cup winner with Leicester City, could be enticed to return to England after limited game time in La Liga with Sevilla. The Spanish club’s acquisition of Akor Adams from Montpellier might pave the way for Iheanacho’s departure.
With experience in the Premier League and a solid international scoring record for Nigeria, Iheanacho could be the missing piece for Leeds in their quest for promotion. Farke could definitely benefit from having a seasoned striker like him in the team for the rest of the season.
