Leeds close to agreeing loan deal for striker in his prime

A one-and-a-half-year loan agreement with a buyout option for the former German international would seem to be the most likely scenario right now, according to journalist Ben Heckner of Sky Sports.With just three points separating the top four in the championship and the race for automatic promotion turning into a four-horse race, it is obvious that Leeds will benefit from a diligent addition here and there.

Leeds is now leading the English second division, but they haven’t been able to pull away from the trailing group just like they did the previous season. Farke will be keenly aware of how his club performed in 2023–2024, and it is obvious that any new additions will be made with the goal of immediately improving the starting lineup.

Leeds is hopeful Mergim Berisha can aid in the fight for promotion.

Leeds has occasionally struggled with consistency, and their last game against Hull City is a prime illustration of that. Leeds let Hull recover a point despite leading 3-1 with less than 10 minutes remaining against a team at the other end of the table. These kinds of outcomes must be eliminated going ahead, and the Championship team might benefit from acquiring players like Berisha. The club may get the motivation they need to start to distance themselves if they can bring on one or two more new players before the window closes for business once more.
