Artem Dovbyk is a potential striking option for Leeds United this summer, with Daniel Farke\u2019s side needing a new centre-forward to spearhead the attack.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The three strikers at the club right now are Lukas Nmecha, Joel Piroe, and Patrick Bamford. However, the latter has been told he has no future at Leeds United<\/a> beyond this summer.<\/p>\n

Despite featuring with just one striker in a 4-3-3 or 4-2-3-1 under Farke, they are still targeting another striker with proven quality, pedigree, and reliability at top flight level \u2014 as they eye a third option at the club.<\/p>\n

That is perhaps why a new name has emerged of late. Leeds and West Ham United have been linked to Artem Dovbyk<\/a> of AS Roma and the Whites\u2019 reported interest is because Dovbyk is an alternative to Rodrigo Muniz<\/a>, with the Fulham striker Leeds\u2019 top target.<\/p>\n

A player of his calibre from his exploits with Spanish side Girona is bound to have other suitors, however. Sides such as Villarreal also like Dovbyk<\/a>, while AC Milan have been credited with an interest<\/a> in the 28-year-old as well.<\/p>\n

Dovbyk could be available at a cut-price with Roma<\/a>. In fact, Dovbyk\u2019s agent has already spoken out<\/a> regarding the Ukrainian striker\u2019s future with the Serie A giants.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s said that Dovbyk is keen to leave Roma<\/a> after just one season in the Italian capital. But then there are other reports which state Dovbyk could be very expensive for Leeds<\/a> or any other interested party this summer.<\/p>\n

Since then, further updates have emerged regarding his future in Rome, with Gian Piero Gasperini explaining the situation as he sees it with Dovbyk.<\/p>\n

Per Filippo Biafora, Gasperini has confirmed that he wants a new striker this summer. He claims he doesn\u2019t dislike Dovbyk but that talks with the hierarchy have centred around an alternative attacker.<\/p>\n

Then, per LAROMA24, further words were posted. Gasperini is quoted as saying: \u201cI expect a striker. Yesterday I had a very positive meeting with the owners. Dovbyk? It\u2019s not true that I don\u2019t like him\u201d <\/p>\n

Dovbyk has had an interesting career with the likes of FC Midtjylland and Dnipro, but he has only featured in La Liga and Serie A for two campaigns thus far.<\/p>\n

Having said that, they are two strong seasons from an output perspective. Some might argue the move to Roma hasn\u2019t gone to plan but he has still contributed well to goals.<\/p>\n\nTeam<\/td>\nAppearances<\/td>\nGoals<\/td>\nAssists<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\nGirona FC<\/td>\n39<\/td>\n24<\/td>\n10<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\nAS Roma<\/td>\n45<\/td>\n17<\/td>\n4<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Dovbyk also has pace and power, which helps when translating performances to Premier League football. That is why he should be considered as an option as a possible Muniz alternative.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Artem Dovbyk is a potential striking option for Leeds United this summer, with Daniel Farke\u2019s side needing a…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":332367,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8814],"tags":[111169,748,393,4884,1860,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-332366","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-leeds","8":"tag-artem-dovbyk","9":"tag-britain","10":"tag-england","11":"tag-great-britain","12":"tag-leeds","13":"tag-uk","14":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115002846195516591","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/332366","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=332366"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/332366\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/332367"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=332366"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=332366"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=332366"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
