There were genuine concerns Leeds United had left themselves short in attacking areas when the summer transfer window came to a close earlier this month.
The Elland Road hierarchy did boost their options in the final third in the aftermath of their successful push for promotion into the Premier League with the signing of AC Milan’s versatile forward Noah Okafor and free agent duo Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Lukas Nmecha.
However, the nagging feelings there was more work to do have only been heightened by the fact the Whites are yet to score from open play in their first four games of the Premier League season with their only goal coming when Nmecha netted from the penalty spot in the opening night win against Everton.
With just under three months to go until the January transfer window opens for business, could Leeds look to the free agent market to add to their forward line and who is currently available?
