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.
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 numerous choices to consider, but with the new season already underway and Leeds’ first game scheduled for Sunday, it’s past time for the club to act.
Patrick Bamford is still unavailable for the Whites, as he has been for the last two seasons, and something needs to change immediately.
In other Leeds United news, an update on the club’s pursuit of two centre-backs this summer has emerged, with a winger also on the club’s radar.
