Leeds United identify priority transfer target due to one key concern

"He's done better than most people expected him to do since he's joined Leeds, but he's still not the type of striker you want to rely on as your source of goals. His record, even this season, tells you that he goes through peaks and troughs, so there are doubts about whether he can do it consistently."

"Calvert-Lewin has given Leeds enough to help them stay in the Premier League this season. But I'm told they are looking to sign a new striker, somebody with a bit more consistency in front of goal as a replacement for Calvert-Lewin when he's not doing it."

"The way Leeds play as well, they could start them both up front together, but it would give them more options than what they've currently got. The only question now is about money and where they're going to get the player they want."

Leeds United has identified striker recruitment as a priority following concerns about Dominic Calvert-Lewin's reliability in front of goal. While Calvert-Lewin has performed better than expected since joining on a free transfer from Everton and contributed to Leeds' Premier League survival, his inconsistent goal-scoring record raises questions about his dependability as a primary attacking threat. The club seeks a more consistent goalscorer to either replace Calvert-Lewin or provide tactical flexibility by playing both strikers together. This would enhance Leeds' attacking options as they aim to establish themselves as a secure mid-table side. The main challenge remains securing adequate funding to attract their target striker.
