Daniel Farke is just a few transfers away from completing the Leeds United puzzle and securing promotion back to the Premier League.
While Joel Piroe is tied for fourth place in the Championship Golden Boot race with ten goals, he is the only player at Elland Road to reach double digits, which could be a concern.
Dan James and Brenden Aaronson have both scored seven goals with four and two assists, respectively, while Manor Solomon has five goals and five assists, but it appears that an out-and-out No.9 is required.
The Whites were linked with a move for Middlesbrough star Emmanuel Latte Lath, and while that remains a possibility, he is far more likely to join Atlanta United in the MLS [Ben Jacobs].
As an alternative, Leeds have been connected with former Manchester City and Leicester City striker Kelechi Iheanacho [SCORENigeria], who won the FA Cup with Leicester in 2020/21.
Leeds United provided a significant Kelechi Iheanacho transfer update.
The 28-year-old is presently playing for Sevilla in La Liga, but with only five league starts this season, he could be persuaded to return to England, where Elland Road awaits.
And Sevilla may have already paved the way for his departure with agreeing to sign Montpellier attacker Akor Adams for £4.6 million, with the player scheduled to arrive in Spain on Saturday, January 25 [Fabrizio Romano].
The 24-year-old has 13 goals in 49 games since joining Ligue 1, indicating that he is more than capable of replacing Iheanacho, which may be a significant boost for Leeds before the winter window closes.
He has more than enough experience in England with Leicester to propel the Whites out of the Championship and back into the Premier League.
The striker has also shone on the international scene, scoring 15 goals in 47 appearances for Nigeria, and Farke could likely use that figure in the second half of the season.
