Leeds United are keen on a striker this summer and have been linked to Hamburg forward Davie Selke.<\/strong><\/p>\n Dr Rajpal Brar<\/a>, an injury expert, has assessed his fitness record in recent seasons ahead of a potential move in the coming weeks.<\/p>\n The 30-year-old\u2019s contract at the German club runs out this month, meaning he will be available on a free transfer.<\/p>\n The Whites may want to take a closer look at the German\u2019s history of foot injuries before making a decision to sign him, according to Dr Brar.<\/p>\n Leeds United\u2019s chiefs have been in direct contact to sign Selke<\/a> and explore his demands with regard to wages. (Express, 2 June)<\/p>\n Selke\u2019s career stats.<\/p>\n Speaking exclusively to\u00a0MOT Leeds News<\/strong>,\u00a0Dr Brar, a specialist in Physical Therapy and a Sports Scientist, said about Selke: \u201cThe club may take a closer look at his foot injury history, specifically if there are any concerns with his metatarsal healing, especially if it was a stress fracture related. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n \u201cThat would most certainly weigh into their decision about signing him. <\/p>\n \u201cHis game time last season suggests that he\u2019s not carrying any post-injury issues, however.\u201c<\/p>\n Selke would have been an excellent free transfer signing for Leeds United<\/a>, offering a towering 6ft 5in presence and proven goal-scoring prowess, with 22 goals in 31 Bundesliga 2 games in 2024\/25. <\/p>\n His physicality and experience could have bolstered Leeds\u2019 attack, complementing their possession-based style under Daniel Farke while providing a focal point for crosses. <\/p>\n However, with Lukas Nmecha joining Leeds<\/a>, their priorities shift. <\/p>\n Nmecha\u2019s versatility and injury concerns suggest he\u2019s not a guaranteed starter. <\/p>\n To ensure Premier League survival, the Elland Road<\/a> outfit now need a top-calibre striker capable of consistently delivering 10-15 league goals to lead their line.<\/p>\n![\"Joel](\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Copy-of-aston-villa-villa-park-1024x576.png\")
