As Leeds United has learned, the advantage of having such attacking depth is that you are never overly dependent on one man to score goals.
Because Joel Piroe is the only player on Daniel Farke’s team to score in double figures thus far, even though Leeds United leads the Championship in scoring. To lessen the load on Piroe’s shoulders, Dan James, Wilfried Gnonto, Manor Solomon, Brenden Aaronson, and Largie Ramazani each have 23.
Jayden Bogle and Pascal Struijk, both defenders, have contributed three goals each.
Dor Turgeman’s goals recently dried up, putting Maccabi Tel Aviv in a similarly fortunate position.
For a month, the Israel international was unable to score in league play. Nevertheless, Maccabi Tel Aviv hit the goal 11 times and remained undefeated in five games during Turgeman’s dry period.
Yet, like when Joel Piroe powered Leeds past Stoke City with a Boxing Day brace, there was certainly great relief in the ranks when Turgeman broke his drought. The brilliant right-winger found the net at last during Saturday’s 5-1 thumping of Ashdod.
As a result, Maccabi Tel Aviv is only one point away from the top of the league.
With the championship at stake, it’s understandable why the Yellows are adamant about keeping Turgeman through the summer despite interest from America, Spain, and England.

The Daily Mail claims that Leeds United has been scouting Dor Turgeman in order to bolster their already strong attacking lineup come January. According to reports, Leeds is also interested in Burnley’s Mike Tresor, and Megrim Berisha of Hoffenheim has also been mentioned.
Zarko Lazetic, coach of Maccabi Tel Aviv, is pleading with Turgeman to stay. After all, the 21-year-old might be the difference between his team winning the title again in 2023 and falling just short of current leaders Hapoel Be’er Sheva.
Lazetic remarks, “He has turned into a beast on the field,” emphasizing Turgeman’s production as well as his readiness to defend from the front. “He scores goals and is excellent at pressing.” He is playing in excellent form.
Sport1, an Israeli publication, has reported that Maccabi Tel Aviv will seek at least £6 million from any team hoping to entice Turgeman to leave this month. Leeds may be better off waiting from a financial standpoint, knowing that they likely already have more than enough firepower to blast most Championship opponents away, since it is claimed that smaller offers, at around £4 million, would be considered in the summer.
Turgeman is considering a move to La Liga while Leeds is thinking about Mike Tresor.
Turgeman is apparently hesitant to relocate to the United States at this time. Numerous Major League Soccer teams are expressing interest, most notably the Portland Timbers.
However, it seems that the Tel Aviv number nine is much more open to bids from Spain. According to Sport1, Turgeman’s top preference right now is La Liga, with two unidentified Spanish teams vying for his services.
Therefore, if Leeds is committed to signing a new forward this month, they might need to seek closer to home.
Burnley manager Scott Parker talked about the Belgian’s future last week, so the Clarets are unlikely to stand in Tresor’s way. However, the team that is one point behind Leeds at the top of the table will naturally be hesitant to sell or loan to a direct title challenger.
When asked if Tresor, who hasn’t participated in a Championship game this season, will remain at Turf Moor, Parker responded, “I’m honestly not really sure.” “What I do know is that Mikey has clearly got quality, and the club has invested a significant sum of money in him [£16 million].”
In order for Mikey to play for us and assist us this year, we need to get him to a point where he is fit. That is the primary goal. Without a doubt, it is what I and the rest of us are doing.
