Leeds United have a budget prepared to bolster their squad in January, providing much-needed support to manager Daniel Farke.
The team are also said to be lined up with Sunderland wonderkid Eliezer Mayenda.
Sunderland will reconsider the situation, but it is thought that they will be reluctant to help out another direct Championship rival, making the deal less likely.
Leeds’ Striker Search
Leeds United have struggled to fill the gap left by departing first-team players during the summer transfer window.
The club are understood to be in the market for a striker, and have been keeping tabs on potential targets arriving in January to ensure they can continue challenging at the top of the table.
However, as Sunderland lead the Championship table, Leeds face tough competition if they want to stay in the promotion race.
Injury Boost for Leeds
One positive is the return from injury of key striker Patrick Bamford, who missed recent matches against Hull and Burnley.
His return provides a welcome lift ahead of their clash with Cardif City.
That leaves Leeds with a headache to solve, with Bamford urgently needed back in the side and firing if they are to keep their play-off push alive.
Leeds fans are now hoping that, ahead of the January transfer window, Leeds supporters are keen to see how the club navigates the challenge of securing a top striker to bolster their attacking line.
This upcoming period could prove decisive for the team’s ambitions in the Championship.
