Leeds United are in the hunt for forwards in the final few weeks of the transfer window as they seek to add more goals and creativity to their team. Daniel Farke has made it clear that without attacking reinforcements, his squad cannot be termed Premier League-ready.
The Whites are in the market for a number 9, a left-winger, a number 10 and a backup full-back whose arrival will trigger the loan departure of Isaac Schmidt to Werder Bremen before the end of the transfer window. The focus is clear – Leeds are pushing to improve their options in the final third.

Ben Doak would be a strong addition to the Leeds squad
