Leeds United could potentially beat Olympique Marseille to sign Feyenoord forward Igor Paixao this transfer window.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The 25-year-old has set the Eredivisie alight this season, and it isn\u2019t surprising to see top teams fighting for his signature.<\/p>\n

Paixao is a target at Elland Road<\/a> as the Whites look to strengthen their attack ahead of their return to Premier League action.<\/p>\n

Marseille were said to have a deal in place with Feyenoord<\/a> for the Brazilian winger, but the reality behind those claims has emerged.<\/p>\n

Paixao\u2019s<\/a> move to the Ligue 1 outfit seemingly being imminent were fueled by French quarters trying to sway the battle in their favour, according to Leeds Live.<\/p>\n

The news outlet reports (21 July) that the Whites are still in the picture to pull off the 25-year-old\u2019s transfer at Elland Road<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n\nCompetition<\/td>\nAppearances<\/td>\nGoals<\/td>\nAssists<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\nEredevisie<\/td>\n34<\/td>\n16<\/td>\n14<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Paixao\u2019s Eredivisie record last season.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s been claimed that the West Yorkshire outfit see the Brazil national as an attainable target, and he is open to a move to LS11.<\/p>\n

The Peacocks are looking to reinforce the left side of their attack this summer, and the Feyenoord attacker would undoubtedly be an impressive addition.<\/p>\n

Daniel Farke has admitted Patrick Bamford<\/a> doesn\u2019t have a future at Leeds, making bolstering the front line an evident priority for them.<\/p>\n

The German manager relied on Joel Piroe<\/a> as his first-choice number nine last season, but the Dutchman can\u2019t be expected to shoulder the goalscoring burden in the Premier League.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s clear that the West Yorkshire outfit need more quality in the final third, and Paixao will certainly help with that.<\/p>\n

Leeds could also lose Mateo Joseph this summer<\/a>, as the Spanish youngster has struggled for game time.<\/p>\n

The Whites must give Farke enough options in the forward line ahead of next season if they hope to have the best chance of avoiding immediate relegation.<\/p>\n

Paixao\u2019s contributions at Feyenoord will encourage many of the Elland Road faithful that he could be a game-changing signing.<\/p>\n

With the Peacocks still in the race, they should push to get the Brazilian forward and blow Marseille out of the water.<\/p>\n
