If the Whites are promoted, the 49ers may sell Leeds United striker Joel Piroe in the summer, with Southampton’s Che Adams being considered as a replacement.
Leeds need a win over Norwich City tomorrow night to secure a place at Wembley Stadium, where they are one game away from promotion to the Premier League.
Jordan Miles will undoubtedly have a busy summer as head of recruitment, regardless of level, but plans for the top flight may already be in the works.
Leeds reportedly intend to trade Joel Piroe if promoted.
According to TEAMtalk, Leeds are planning to bolster their striker department if they return to the Premier League, which might have serious ramifications for Joel Piroe.
Piroe, who was signed from Swansea City for £10.5 million in the 49ers’ first transfer window, is rumored to be one among the players Leeds will let go in the summer, if that happens.
According to recent reports, Leeds owe Swansea up to £3 million in performance-related add-ons if they win at Wembley Stadium on May 26, allowing them to exit the Championship at the first opportunity.
Southampton’s Che Adams will take over as Joel Piroe’s successor.
According to reports, Leeds are interested in replacing Piroe with Southampton’s Che Adams.
Adams, 27, is out of contract this summer, and if Leeds do return to the top flight, it will come at the expense of the Saints, who are in the other playoff semi-final this week.
Wolves and Everton are also interested in the former Sheffield United and Birmingham City player, who will be free to leave St Mary’s for nothing in a few weeks.
Piroe hasn’t been a huge transfer success for Leeds.
No one can truly say Piroe has been a success, despite the fact that he has 13 goals and three assists, several of which were crucial in our promotion race.
We needed a number nine in the summer, and it appeared that Farke had found his groove with Piroe playing deeper and Rutter leading the line.
However, having a typical nine in the side in Bamford has shown that Piroe lacks the necessary talent outside of his finishing to make it work completely.
There is undeniable quality at Championship level, but I wouldn’t be opposed to seeing him leave if we do get promoted and seeing him join a team that is more suited to his strengths.
