Leeds United have a big transfer window ahead of them.
Indeed, the Whites are back in the Premier League, and they need to make the right additions if they want to remain in the top-flight next year.
Leeds have already been linked to a few interesting additions ahead of the summer.
Tomas Soucek has been linked to Leeds, while Leeds are keen on Daniel Peretz too.
Speaking on Last Word on Spurs, Ben Jacobs has been discussing Leeds’ transfer business, and he’s been discussing the Whites’ search for a new striker.
According to the journalist, Cameron Archer could be a player on Leeds’ radar this summer.

Leeds could look at Cameron Archer
Jacobs shared what he knows about Leeds and their interest in Archer.
The journalist notes that Leeds tried for Archer in January, and he reckons that this deal could be revived after Southampton’s relegation.
Meanwhile, Jacobs also notes that Leeds are fans of Callum Wilson.
“We know that they tried for Cameron Archer in January, and now Southampton are championship and Leeds are in the Premier League. So they might be back in for him,” Jacobs said.
“I heard they liked the idea of Callum Wilson, but Wilson’s got the chance to stay at Newcastle and have his contract extended as well. And then they’re looking at more versatile players, playmakers, 10s, advanced eights, like Emi Buendia, Gustavo Heymer. But Solomon is very high in the thinking of Leeds United.”
Cameron Archer’s Premier League stats
Cameron Archer has done two full Premier League seasons, and he’s been relegated twice – that doesn’t bode well for Leeds.
On top of that, his goalscoring record in the Premier League leaves a lot to be desired too.

Games 74
Goals 6
Assists 2
Archer only has six Premier League goals to his name in two seasons. However, he did score against Arsenal this season.
The attacker joined Southampton last summer for £15m, and you have to say that wasn’t money well spent by the Saints.
Leeds need goals in the team if they’re going to stand any chance of staying up this season, and, sadly, Archer has proven on more than one occasion that he isn’t the answer in that regard.
