According to the Chronicle, Leeds United, Leicester City, and Southampton were all interested in signing Manchester United forward Amad Diallo on loan.
The English tabloid stated in its print edition on Saturday (5 August, Page 32) that the Ivory Coast international will not be leaving Old Trafford this summer owing to a knee injury.
The Manchester club opted to loan him out, but he will most certainly go in January because he will miss the first half of the new season.
Not a priority
Leeds’ wide offensive options include Jack Harrison, Willy Gnonto, Luis Sinisterra, Dan James, and Crysenscio Summerville.
They need reinforcements in defense and someone to lead the line for them, so not signing Diallo isn’t too bad.
Daniel Farke has stated that bringing in a proper striker is a priority, and ideally, they are working long and hard behind the scenes.
Swansea’s Joel Piroe has been connected, but it has to be seen if that trade can be completed, which appears unlikely at the moment.
There are many options to consider but with the new season already here and Leeds’ first game to be played on Sunday, it’s about time the club hurries up.
Patrick Bamford remains unavailable for the Whites and that’s been the case for the last two seasons so something needs to change quickly.
