Leeds United will have to make some key decisions this late in the transfer windows. At this point in time many club’s have to look lower down their shortlist to see if they can add a few new signings.
Leeds did their business early in the transfer window, but most of that was focused on bolstering the defence and midfield. The club left recruiting attackers a bit late. Failed moves for Igor Paixao and Rodrigo Muniz meant the club had to look at other options. Over the last few weeks, Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Noah Okafor have been added to the tea.
But Daniel Farke is still adamant that the team needs more quality in the attack moving forward.

Leeds were interested in Ioannidis this summer, but much like most of their summer targets, they never made an official bid.
Door open for new signing
Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Noah Okafor have been the last two attackers to join the team, but there could be at least one more through the door before the deadline. Brighton star Facundo Buonanotte has been made available to clubs, with Leeds reportedly leading the race to sign the 20-year old.
The Argentine would be a great addition to the attack, as he can play out wide as well as in the middle of the park. He scored five goals and provided two assists on loan at Leicester City in the Premier League – showing that he has experience in ”smaller” teams.
