Leeds United eyeing January move for attacker with 33 goals and 55 assists
In order to continue their pursuit of immediate promotion to the Premier League, Leeds United is actively seeking to add players to their roster during the January transfer window.
With a slim one-point lead, the Whites are currently leading the Championship table, and manager Daniel Farke is eager to bolster his team at this crucial time in the campaign.
Leeds United want to sign Mike Tresor this month
One standout target on Leeds’ radar is Burnley winger Mike Tresor. According to Voetbal Nieuws, Leeds face stiff competition from Anderlecht, KAA Gent, and Ajax for the 25-year-old Belgian’s signature.
Tresor joined Burnley last summer in an €18 million move, signing a contract that runs until 2028. However, his debut season at Turf Moor has been marred by injuries, with the winger missing the first half of the campaign and sitting out 30 games in total.
Despite these setbacks, Burnley is reportedly open to parting ways with Tresor, whose struggles have limited his impact on Vincent Kompany’s squad.
Even if Tresor’s time at Burnley has been difficult, his prior performance shows that he has the ability to contribute.
He had an incredible season for Genk in the 2022–2023 Jupiler Pro League, scoring eight goals and dishing up 24 assists in 39 league games. He was named the coveted Belgian Footballer of the Year after his assist total set a new record for the Belgian top division.With 33 goals and 55 assists across all competitions and levels, he now has an outstanding goal contribution record.
According to reports, Leeds see him as a creative force who can open up defences and give their assault more energy.
The Whites already possess a wealth of talent in wide areas, with Daniel James, Manor Solomon, Wilfried Gnonto, and Largie Ramazani competing for places. However, Tresor’s addition could offer Leeds a unique edge, particularly given his ability to rack up assists and deliver in crucial moments.
Leeds manager looking to bolster squad to push for promotion
As the team fights for automatic promotion, manager Daniel Farke recognises the value of squad depth and creative firepower. This transfer window, they have been connected to a number of players, including Tyler Goodrham of Oxford United and Ben Davies, a key veteran from Tottenham.
He would be an experienced playmaker who can provide an extra wing option and directly contribute to goals.
The Whites are committed to strengthening their team and guaranteeing their return to the Premier League, so they are still very much in the hunt.
