Leeds United may want to think about signing attacking players after what was an underwhelming draw against Burnley on Monday night.

Daniel Farke will be pleased that Leeds are currently the best-attacking team in the league, but fans are asking for more.

Joel Piroe and Mateo Joseph are the only current striking options at The Whites as the 49ers may see a possibility of adding to their current flock.

The owners hope they can save money at Leeds and the jury is still out on whether this will go down well with the supporters.

A new revelation has come to the surface now of what the 49ers could look for in terms of attacking output.

The main target in the striker department that has been mooted is Kelechi Iheanacho who is ‘unlikely’ to join Leeds.

But, Graeme Bailey has exclusively revealed to Leeds United News that might not be the case, with the owners deciding on the next step in this window.

“I saw the Willem Geubbels links. Leeds are in a position where they want someone to get them over the line, I don’t think there’s much in Geubbels one,” Bailey said.

“Leeds have been linked with a lot of players – Iheanacho? Well, they’re pretty happy with where they are and what they’ve got but they are prepared to wait right until the end of the window.

“We’ll see what happens in the next few days, more players are becoming available.”

Leeds’ striker performance against Burnley may issue warning

Piroe and Joseph couldn’t ignite the scoring on Monday night, as Burnley added to their run of now seven consecutive games without conceding.

It was a sight for sore eyes when it came to Leeds’ chances, as Dan James had the only shot on target in the game, as Farke was frustrated by James’ miss.

Piroe’s display wasn’t exactly an inspiring one, to put it bluntly.

Joseph was on the pitch for 20 minutes so it would be harsh to judge the Spaniard, but Leeds fans may have slight concern if a striker doesn’t get signed by February 3rd.
