Leeds United in shock January swoop for 21-year-old Championship ace

Leeds United are looking forward to the rest of the season after the transfer window closed last week. However, the club’s failure to add to their forward line has already led to suggestions that the club could be forced to be active in the January transfer window.

The Yorkshire giants splashed over £100m on 10 new signings this summer. Despite a disappointing deadline day, failing to land any attackers after their pursuit of Harry Wilson fell through, the club believe they have successfully revamped the squad.

However, Leeds looked short of creativity and goals and are yet to score from open play in the Premier League. The club are being linked with moves for strikers, wingers and attacking midfielders in the January transfer window.

The Whites are believed to be in the race for Crystal Palace striker Jean-Philippe Mateta, but the club are also alive to the possibility of emerging talents such as West Brom’s Isaac Price.

Leeds United are among the clubs monitoring West Brom’s Isaac Price

Isaac Price has made a blistering start to the Championship this season. He has scored three times in four league appearances, playing as the attacking midfielder in the team.

His performances have turned heads, and he made a further impression when he scored in Northern Ireland’s 3-1 defeat against Germany on Sunday.

West Brom are aware of Premier League interest in Price when the transfer window reopens in January, and a few clubs are already keeping tabs on him.

According to EFL Analysis, Leeds are among the Premier League clubs that are monitoring his situation with a view to signing him in the winter window

The Whites are interested in adding an attacking midfielder to their squad, and the 21-year-old’s performances have impressed the club’s recruitment team.

However, they will face a Premier League battle for his signature as clubs such as Brentford, Burnley, Crystal Palace, and Fulham also have their eyes on Price.

West Brom signed the attacking midfielder for a fee of £2m in the last January transfer window, and could make a huge profit from his sale just after a year.
