Leeds United are in the market for players who can add goals and creativity to their team, going into the final few days of the transfer window. The Whites are assessing several players and are considering a few options before making a couple of decisive moves before the September 1st transfer deadline.
The Whites have looked short in attack this season, and they seemed particularly bereft of ideas, creativity and inspiration against a second-string Sheffield Wednesday in their second round EFL Cup defeat at Hillsborough on Tuesday night. Leeds are in desperate need of some attacking reinforcements.

Daniel Farke is gunning for two more attackers before the transfer window closes. He wants to bring in one more striker to add to the depth in their forward line and a robust attacking midfielder who can bring goals and creativity to the team.

Leeds United target Josh Brownhill is considering a mega-offer from a Saudi club
Josh Brownhill scored 18 goals in the Championship and led Burnley to promotion to the Premier League at the end of last season.
However, he left the Clarets in the summer following the end of his contract, despite the club offering him a new deal to remain part of Scott Parker’s squad.
Leeds are among the Premier League clubs that hold an interest, and he has also been linked with a move to Everton in the ongoing transfer window.
However, with days left in the window, his future remains unresolved, and according to Sky Sports News, the midfielder has been offered a fortune to move to Saudi Arabia.
Saudi Pro League side Al Shabab have offered Brownhill a massive contract to play his football in Saudi Arabia.
It has been claimed that the offer from Saudi Arabia is well in excess of £100,000 per week, and Brownhill is seriously considering it.
However, he may wait until the September 1st transfer deadline to consider offers from clubs in the Premier League.
Saudi sides have a little more time to sign players, and they could afford to wait for Brownhill until the transfer window closes in the Premier League and most of Europe.
Brownhill would be a solid pick-up on a free transfer late in the window
Earlier in the window, there were rumours that Brownhill was keen on a move to Leeds and was intrigued by the project under Daniel Farke.
He has bags of experience, and is believed to be keen on playing in the Premier League this season despite the interest from Saudi Arabia.
Leeds are unlikely to match the wage offer from Saudi Arabia, but they could do a lot worse than signing an attacking midfielder like Brownhill on a free transfer.
He is a genuine goal-threat, and Leeds need more such players who know the back of the net to survive in the Premier League this season.
