Leeds United are continuing their preparations for the upcoming Premier League campaign and Daniel Farke has made it clear that his side need to strengthen the final third.
“In comparison to our Championship side, we have not improved the offence," Farke said after the draw with AC Milan in Dublin. “To have a squad capable to survive in the top flight, we need to strengthen.
“In the offence, we need some top class signings, not just numbers. We need players who improve our squad.”
With that in mind, LeedsLive has taken a look at the latest Leeds transfer news and speculation.
Leeds transfer target wants to leave current club
Reported Leeds transfer target Nikola Krstovic has told Lecce that he wants to leave to explore his options. Daniel Farke's side have been listed as one of the clubs who could make a move for his services this summer after the Whites' head coach called for his side to bolster their options in the final third before the upcoming Premier League campaign.
Lecce’s president, Sticchi Damiani revealed Krstovic had expressed his desire to leave, as per Tuttomercatoweb.com , he said: "Transfers? I'm pleased that our players are being linked with big clubs. Pierotti is in great form; I read he's attracting the attention of some clubs.
"We already knew about Krstovic, but his situation is different. He's expressed his desire to take a further step in his career, which isn't the case with Pierotti. If the situation is right for everyone, Krstovic can leave; otherwise, we'd be happy to keep him."
LeedsLive says: "It's clear that Leeds need another striker for the rigours of the Premier League, though AS Roma are also said to be in the race to sign Krstovic."
