Leeds United\u2019s<\/a> main goal during the January window will be to procure more firepower, either with an attacking midfield option or with a striker.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Prior to a significant drop-off in form since the October<\/a> international break, Daniel Farke\u2019s Leeds exhibited real defensive strength<\/a> without the ball.<\/p>\n

The main weakness has been how they create and score enough goals<\/a> in the Premier League, which has been highlighted even more now that the defence is struggling.<\/p>\n

Do Leeds United need to sign a striker during the January transfer window?<\/p>\n

Leeds\u2019 three strikers so far have three goals between them. Lukas Nmecha got United off the mark from the penalty spot against Everton, and doubled his tally last time out at Forest with a superbly taken goal. <\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Dominic Calvert-Lewin has one to his name, a great header in the win at Wolves. However, there\u2019s a general agreement that Leeds\u2019 summer business left them short of guaranteed goals.<\/p>\n

Criticism shouldn\u2019t be aimed purely at Leeds\u2019 two free agent signings, who are working hard to make up for the woeful lack of service. But, if the Whites want to make the most of their inability to consistently create, they might need a striker that can score off scraps.<\/p>\n

Should one of those strikers become available in the January window, and Leeds have the funds to pursue them, it\u2019s surely worth considering.<\/p>\n

Could Leeds United pursue Ivan Toney in January as Premier League return grows more likely?<\/p>\n

A potential opening for Leeds and their Premier League rivals is England international Ivan Toney. The 29-year-old left Brentford for an opportunity in Saudi Arabia with Al-Ahli, but Sky Sports<\/a> revealed that he could be looking for a Premier League return in the new year.<\/p>\n

Ahead of the winter window, there is unsurprisingly a queue of clubs that would like to sign the striker, and talkSPORT\u2019s Alex Crook<\/a> claims Leeds are one of those.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cEverton, West Ham are another team in dire need of a No.9,\u201d Crook said. \u201cThomas Frank would love Ivan Toney at Tottenham. Leeds you mentioned as well, half of the Premier League would love to take Ivan Toney.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Would Ivan Toney be the missing piece for Leeds United\u2019s Premier League survival bid?<\/p>\n

First of all, it\u2019s worth assessing the chances of Leeds signing Toney before thinking if he\u2019d be a good signing.<\/p>\n
