Joel Piroe could be set to end his nightmare season at Leeds United in January.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Piroe has hardly played for Leeds this campaign<\/a> despite being one of the main reasons behind promotion to the Premier League.<\/p>\n

The Dutchman hasn\u2019t been helped by Dominic Calvert-Lewin\u2019s heroics at Leeds<\/a>, as the summer signing has stolen the starting striker role in LS11.<\/p>\n

Daniel Farke<\/a> has also opted to utilise Lukas Nmecha regularly for Leeds this season<\/a>, with Noah Okafor<\/a> also featuring as a striker this season.<\/p>\n

With the January window just days away, a move away from Elland Road<\/a> could be on the cards for Piroe<\/a> as links emerge from OGC Nice.<\/p>\n

Piroe looks destined to leave Leeds in January<\/a> after a largely positive spell since his 2023 move from Swansea City.<\/p>\n

The 26-year-old has scored 33 goals for the Whites, but things just haven\u2019t worked out for him in the Premier League.<\/p>\n

Farke has reduced the forward to just 200 minutes, with just two of his nine appearances coming as starts against Arsenal and Everton.<\/p>\n

His involvement is only likely to drop even further with Leeds targeting a move for OGC Nice striker Terem Moffi this winter.<\/p>\n

Online outlet MediaFoot have reported interest from the Yorkshire club, which has suggested that an approach is in the pipeline for the Nigerian.<\/p>\n

If he were to make a January switch to LS11, there is every chance that Piroe moves in the other direction to help balance the books.<\/p>\n

Moffi would certainly represent a useful option for the Whites at this stage as an option alongside or as backup to Calvert-Lewin.<\/p>\n

The 26-year-old physically profiles in a similar fashion to the Englishman, so would be more of a like-for-like alternative for Farke.<\/p>\n

That is something that Piroe can\u2019t provide, so it would make total sense for him to move on this winter if the chance arises.<\/p>\n

It will be interesting to see how the January window plays out, but it looks destined to be the end of the road for the Dutchman in Yorkshire.<\/p>\n
