Leeds United are on the verge of securing the signing of Artem Dovbyk from Roma, a move that could provide the much-needed quality in their number nine position. Despite Joel Piroe’s success in the Championship last season, a striker with top-level experience is still a priority for the Whites.
Following Dovbyk’s lackluster performance for Roma against Aston Villa, the Italian side may be open to offers around £27million, giving Leeds the opportunity to swoop in. With the new Premier League season looming, the urgency to secure a new attacking signing is growing by the day for manager Daniel Farke.
While signing Dovbyk off the back of a poor display may seem risky, it could be the bold move Leeds need to solidify their forward line. With speculation surrounding Patrick Bamford’s future at the club, Dovbyk could be the ideal replacement. The timing of this potential deal could be crucial for Leeds, coming just before their opening match against Everton.
