Leeds United have perhaps the best array of attacking options in the league, in fact they are likely to be the envy of the entire league.
According to reports, they may not be satisfied with their attacking options either. Recently, they have been linked with two exciting transfers which would bolster their already impressive options in front of goal.
According to recent reports, Leeds United may now be in pole position to swoop for former Liverpool and Rangers striker Ryan Kent, after interest from his former Glasgow club faded away.
Furthermore, it has been reported that Leeds could be interested in making a move for one of the Red Bull system’s most exciting attackers which you can read about here.
But they may also be on the cusp of losing a forward.

Leeds United forward “wants to leave”
Patrick Bamford is keen on leaving Elland Road this season
According to Football Insider, Leeds are open to selling Patrick Bamford and former Manchester United chief scout Mick Brown told the English outlet that Leeds might look to cash in on Bamford, as he’s no longer seen as a critical player under Farke.
“I’ve heard Leeds are open to letting him leave,” Brown told Football Insider. “His record in front of goal isn’t particularly impressive and hasn’t been for a while now. He’s had countless injury issues as well which have caused them trouble.
“Where Leeds want to go, they want to earn promotion and they want to be a Premier League side. He doesn’t fit that mould because he couldn’t cut it last time they were up there other than one season which was an outlier by all means. “I think his time at Leeds has come to an end. It’s time for Leeds to move him on. But he won’t be going upwards. He’ll have to settle for a step down.”
Premier League club keen on Bamford
Now according to reports, Bamford’s supposed desire to exit Elland Road have insighted interest from a Premier League club, one who Leeds have an interesting recent history with.
That is of course the side who prevented Leeds’ return to the Premier League this summer, Southampton. The Saints defeated Leeds at Wembley to end Leeds’ hopes of a return to the top flight, and according to reports they are now keen on bring Bamford back to the Premier League.
But why are Southampton keen on Bamford? It’s as simple as their own struggles in front of goal. Despite a boat load of possession, they are not scoring. They also have a relatively inexperienced attack so someone like Bamford, who they could get on a relatively cheap loan deal could be beneficial for goals and leadership.
Kent to Leeds?…lol….behave fella
