Leeds United monitoring sensational 55-goal striker who would cost a record fee

So far, Leeds united have addressed key areas in the first team squad to develop ahead of next season. The team have managed to sign two players on permanent deals so far.

Harry Wilson joined on a free transfer, with the Whites beating other Premier League clubs to his signing.

Leeds lacked a bit of quality in attack last season, and in some games, had little to no service for Dominic Calvert-Lewin. Wilson will be a huge help, as he scored 11 goals and had eight assists in all competitions.

Pascal Struijk joined Brighton and Hove Albion last month.

And the 49ers managed to replace him, by signing Tarik Muharemovic from Sassuolo for £34 million. The Bosnian is a young defender that played at a high level in Italy, and will fit in the Premier League.

Leeds United pursue deal for 55-goal striker

Leeds United are also making strides to sign Shea Charles this summer.

The Southampton midfielder is with his team in pre-season while talks continue on his future. According to reports, the Saints are holding out for a fee closer to £30 million.

The goalkeeping situation is yet to be addressed, as the club desperately search in the market.

Alex Cairns and Lucas Perri are the only first team options as pre-season begins, but the club will be pushing to add one in the coming weeks.

Leeds are also moving to augment their attacking options going forward.

According to TEAMtalk, the Whites are monitoring FC Midtjylland striker Franculino Dju. The Danish club are open to letting the 21-year old leave for the right fee in this window.

They value the striker in excess of the Danish club record fee of £24 million.

Newcastle United, Everton, Fulham and Brentford have been credited with interest in a move for the Guinea-Bissau international.

Daniel Farke needs options next season

Leeds signed Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Lucas Nmecha as center forward options last summer.

These deals panned out as both players combined to score over 20 goals in all competitions this past season. Fans were sceptical when the duo arrived, but they proved the 49ers decision to be right.

Moving forward, the team needs more options in attack.

The Whites lacked a cutting edge outside Calvert-Lewin, Nmecha and Okafor. Getting in a new center forward who can compete with the current options will be a huge boost to the team.

Franculino Dju could be just what Leeds are looking for in that price range.
