Leeds United’s January Transfer Plans Revealed Amid Links to £4m+ Striker
Leeds United are unlikely to make significant signings in the January transfer window, despite being linked with a move for Maccabi Tel Aviv striker Dor Turgeman. The 21-year-old Israeli forward has been valued at over £4 million, with reports suggesting that Leeds have made an official approach to sign him.
However, according to the Yorkshire Evening Post, Leeds’ official stance on incomings and outgoings is that it will be a quiet winter transfer window. This may come as a surprise to fans, given the club’s impressive start to the season and their ambitions to return to the Premier League.
Turgeman has been in impressive form for Maccabi Tel Aviv, scoring five goals and providing two assists in nine appearances in the Israeli Premier League. His age and potential make him an attractive prospect for Leeds manager Daniel Farke, who is looking to strengthen his squad for the second half of the season.
While Leeds have been impressive in front of goal, they have lacked a clinical number nine striker who can consistently deliver at the highest level. Turgeman’s arrival could potentially address this issue and provide a significant boost to the team’s promotion hopes.
It is understandable that Farke is cautious about making significant changes to his squad in January. However, the potential signing of Turgeman could be a shrewd move, both in the short and long term, if Leeds can negotiate a deal with Maccabi Tel Aviv.
