Leeds United secured seven new players in the summer to improve a squad that finished 14th in the Premier League last season. However, they are already preparing for the next few transfer windows.
The Whites hope they have done enough to improve the squad in the recently concluded transfer window, despite not signing a striker to improve their number 9 options.
Daniel Farke has already indicated that the club will consider options to strengthen the squad in the winter transfer window if the squad need more help.
A striker remains on the agenda for Leeds for the upcoming transfer windows, and the Whites are keeping close tabs on a hugely talented young forward.

Leeds hold early interest in New York Red Bulls striker
Leeds have been using Red Bull Group’s deep scouting network since they became minority owners of the club and hope to leverage the relationship in the transfer market.
According to TeamTalk, Leeds hold an early interest in signing New York Red Bulls’ 18-year-old striker sensation Julian Hall.
The teenage forward has attracted significant interest due to his record-breaking rise in the MLS and is on the radar of Leeds for a move in the near future.
Borussia Dortmund, Atletico Madrid and Monaco are also interested in getting their hands on Hall as he continues to impress in the United States.
Hall burst onto the professional scene with the Red Bulls at just 15, becoming the third-youngest player ever to feature in MLS and the youngest in the club’s history.
He continued to make headlines in 2024, finding the net for the first time in the league and becoming the second-youngest goalscorer in MLS history, with only Freddy Adu ahead of him.
His remarkable rise continued earlier this year when he produced another milestone moment, scoring a hat-trick in the Red Bulls’ 3-2 win over Columbus Crew at just 18 years and 50 days old.
Having put pen to paper on his first professional contract at 15, the highly rated forward has now secured his long-term future with the Red Bulls by agreeing to a new four-year deal.
However, it has done little to dampen interest in Hall, and the forward is attracting the eyes of a few top clubs in Europe.

Leeds have a slight advantage
Hall has caught the attention of Leeds, who are keen to keep a close eye on the youngster. The club are expected to continue monitoring his development over the coming months before deciding whether to make a move for the talented forward.
Should Leeds decide to turn their interest in the 18-year-old into a formal offer, the Whites could hold an advantage over the other clubs monitoring his situation.
Leeds’ existing relationship with the Red Bull Group will come in handy in a race to sign Hall in the upcoming transfer windows.
The club will expect their minority owners to facilitate a deal to take Hall to Elland Road if they table an offer for him in the near future.
F££king joke, no striker in the window then talk about signing yet another gutless, soulless, talentless yank as soon as the window closes! If we want a young striker we’ve got Harry Gray an actual footballer. When will the Leeds hierarchy realize Americans cannot play real football?
More bullshit until January
