Leeds United are going to need a new attacking signing when the January window opens, and if money allows for it, there\u2019s scope to bring in another goalscoring menace.<\/strong><\/p>\n

United\u2019s battle to stay in the Premier League is becoming a lot clearer, as they sit with a nice six-point gap to West Ham heading out of Christmas Day<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Irons, though, are already planning to bolster their lack of firepower<\/a> to get out of the mess they\u2019re in. Leeds must respond to keep them at arm\u2019s length.<\/p>\n

Leeds United could do with another striker after confirmed Lukas Nmecha injury news<\/p>\n

Dominic Calvert-Lewin\u2019s formidable goalscoring form<\/a> has papered over the fact that Leeds have been short of striker options of late.<\/p>\n

Lukas Nmecha has missed the last three games with a hamstring problem. Ahead of Sunderland, he has been given a \u201csmall chance\u201d by Daniel Farke<\/a> to feature.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Joel Piroe\u2019s 15-minute cameo against Crystal Palace<\/a> probably served as a massive detriment to his prospects of being involved more in the Premier League. <\/p>\n

As a result, it begs the question of whether Leeds will identify this issue and find a new striker for the January window.<\/p>\n

Calvert-Lewin has proven to be finding form again with his fitness holding up<\/a>. But, historic issues for him are something we simply cannot afford to risk.<\/p>\n

Leeds United should consider a move for Union SG and Canada star Promise David<\/p>\n

If Leeds are in the market for a striker, which they should be, then we\u2019re going to need someone physically very dominant<\/a> to keep up this theme we saw vs Palace.<\/p>\n

Linked in the summer<\/a>, a name I\u2019d very much like to see Leeds test the waters for is Union SG striker Promise David<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The 6ft5in Canadian international is having another storming campaign. He\u2019s bagged 12 goals already in all competitions, two of those being in the Champions League.<\/p>\n

He\u2019s a battering ram with and without the ball. Leeds could have a real menace on their hands if they firm up their supposed interest from the summer.<\/p>\n

Importantly, if the club are keen, they\u2019ll want to do a deal in January rather than the summer. <\/p>\n

David is likely to head to the World Cup with Jesse Marsch\u2019s Canada. And as we all know, a solid international tournament leads to a player\u2019s price absolutely skyrocketing. In turn, we can\u2019t afford that.<\/p>\n

What has Jesse Marsch said about previous Leeds United target Promise David?<\/p>\n

Of course, given that he\u2019s being coached on an international level by Marsch, it\u2019d be interesting to hear what the ex-Leeds boss has to say about him<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Marsch gave David his debut for Canada. And, he\u2019s been repaid for calling up with the 24-year-old scoring three in eight caps so far.<\/p>\n

\u201cPromise David has obviously had a great year at Union Saint-Gilloise,\u201d\u00a0Marsch said, via\u00a0Canadian Soccer Daily<\/a> earlier this year.\u00a0\u201cHe and I have been in a lot of contact over the last four or five months. I\u2019ve watched him, we\u2019ve talked a lot about his progress. He\u2019s excited about joining the Canadian national team.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe reason I\u2019ve hunted them so heavily is I really believe that they will fit what we do very well and they\u2019ll assimilate quickly. We\u2019ll be ready to insert them into games and see how they do, give them a chance to show what they\u2019re about.<\/p>\n

\u201cClearly, both are highly talented players and Promise is in really good form. We\u2019re excited to get both of them in.\u201d<\/p>\n
