The upcoming transfer window is expected to be dominated by Leeds United’s pursuit of a striker this summer, as they look to strengthen their squad for survival in the Premier League.
Rumors suggest that a striker is a top priority for the club, with several names linked to a potential move to Elland Road. Everton’s Beto and Leicester City’s Jamie Vardy are among the players rumored to be on Leeds’ radar.
However, a new contender has emerged in the form of Celtic’s Daizen Maeda. The Japanese international, who has been in impressive form for Celtic this season, has caught the eye of Leeds United. With 33 goals to his name, Maeda is seen as one of the best strikers in the Scottish Premiership.
Brendan Rodgers has even compared Maeda to Celtic legend Henrik Larsson, further highlighting the striker’s talent. Valued at £25 million, Maeda has attracted interest from other Premier League clubs like Crystal Palace and West Ham.
While Maeda has expressed happiness at Celtic, the lure of Premier League football could tempt him to make a move to England. With his goalscoring ability and potential for success in the top flight, Maeda could be a crucial signing for Leeds United as they look to secure their place in the Premier League. Farke will be hoping to secure Maeda’s signature ahead of their rivals to bolster their attacking options and increase their chances of survival.
