Championship title winner urged to join English club amid reports Leeds United are close to signing him

At the beginning of the transfer window, Daniel Farke reiterated that Leeds were expecting a quiet month. Since then, Leeds has confirmed the loan departures of teenager Charlie Crew to Doncaster and Joe Gelhardt to Hull City. However, despite multiple rumors of new signings and a few Elland Road players being linked to other teams, nothing more has happened. Things are now getting hotter with just one week left in the window. A striker is one of the three positions Farke said he wants to strengthen in this Leeds team. Farke now only has Joel Piroe and Mateo Joseph as options after Patrick Bamford suffered a setback.

Kelechi Iheanacho is urged to leave Sevilla and return to England.

Despite helping Leicester City win promotion, Iheanacho departed the team after seven years to join Sevilla in the summer. He departed the King Power together with Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall and Enzo Maresca. But Iheanacho hasn’t made an impression in Spain. Iheanacho has only made 11 appearances and scored three goals; since Victor Orta enticed him to join La Liga from Leicester six months ago, he has been utilized as a backup. Iheanacho is reportedly nearing a deal with Leeds before the transfer window closes, and former Ipswich, Ajax, and Betis player George Finidi has pushed Iheanacho to come back to England on AfricaFoot. “If there are any good offers, I think he should leave the club.” He still has a lot to contribute at the age of 28, but he needs a place where he will be treated with genuine appreciation. Going back to England would be a fantastic choice.

Why Daniel Farke’s attack has a problem that Kelechi Iheanacho resolves

Leeds have four great options and, it might be argued, four players who could compete at the Premier League level with Piroe, Joseph, Bamford, and Gelhardt in attack. But they are all too identical; Leeds need something else. None surely, boast any form of pace. Joseph is perhaps the fastest although he is recognized more for his work rate and ability to engage centre-backs. Although he lacks speed and availability, Bamford is similar to the latter. Piroe is the finest of the lot and a finisher, but he rarely participates in build-up play and occasionally disappears. Iheanacho’s pace makes him the kind of player Leeds need to make a total change.
