Middlesbrough are reportedly interested in bringing in Leeds United’s out-of-favour forward Joel Piroe to The Riverside this January to bolster their promotion prospects.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Middlesbrough<\/a> have automatic promotion set in their sights this season, with Swedish head coach Kim Hellberg stamping his authority on the Boro squad this January with additions of his own.<\/p>\n

Attacking-midfielder Leo Castledine, who spent the first half of the season on loan with League One side Huddersfield Town, has signed on a permanent deal<\/a>, whilst Aston Villa wing-back Finley Munroe looks set to sign for the club<\/a> permanently after impressing on loan with Swindon Town in the first half of the campaign.<\/p>\n

Jeremy Sarmiento also looks set to make the move to Teesside<\/a> permanently, with Delano Burgzorg on the verge of an exit from the club this winter, with Bristol City interested in the Dutchman<\/a>, leaving a vacancy up top.<\/p>\n

Now, according to TEAMtalk<\/a>, Boro<\/a> are interested in bringing in Leeds United forward Joel Piroe to the club this January, with a loan move the most likely option.<\/p>\n

Piroe, who recently changed his allegiance to Suriname, has played just over 200 minutes of Premier League football this season and has been rumoured to be a potential exit this winter, with Boro interested in the forward’s signature.<\/p>\n

How much Joel Piroe earns at Leeds United as Middlesbrough links emerge<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Joel<\/p>\n

Piroe, who ended last season as the Championship’s top scorer, has naturally drawn interest from the second tier, with his game time taking a significant hit upon Leeds’ promotion.<\/p>\n

Boro<\/a> are the latest club linked with a move for the forward, though whether the club will be able to agree a deal with Leeds remains to be seen, with one factor potentially creating a major stumbling block in any deal.<\/p>\n

As per Capology<\/strong><\/a>, Piroe earns around \u00a340k-per-week<\/a> on his current deal at Leeds, meaning any permanent deal is hugely unlikely to happen unless Boro are willing to throw a load of money at it.<\/p>\n

A loan switch seems the most likely of options if any deal is to be completed, though Leeds’ stance on the matter is not yet clear.<\/p>\n

The Whites have been linked with moves<\/a> for Wolves’ Jorgen Strand-Larsen and Roma’s Artem Dovbyk recently, and if any deal is completed for another forward, with Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Lukas Nmecha ahead of him in the pecking order, Piroe will likely be deemed surplus to requirements.<\/p>\n

His \u00a340k-per-week<\/a> wage will want to be shifted off Leeds’ books in any event of a new striker arrival, and with Boro<\/a> one of the potential suitors in the second tier, a loan deal remains a real possibility.<\/p>\n

\"Kim<\/p>\n

Across his time with both Swansea City and Leeds, Piroe has consistently proven that he knows where the net is at Championship level.<\/p>\n

The 26-year-old has scored 73 goals and grabbed 18 assists in 179 games in the second tier, and for any Championship club, Boro<\/a> included, he would be an incredible pickup.<\/p>\n

Between the four-game period where they were defeated 2-0 away to Bristol City and 1-0 away to Derby County, Boro failed to score a single goal despite having 80 shots across those games, an average of 20 per game.<\/p>\n

Creating chances is clearly not an issue for Boro, but finishing them seemingly is, and although they would beat Southampton 4-0 in their most recent league game, a clinical forward could take them to the next level.<\/p>\n

How much of Piroe’s \u00a340k-per-week<\/a> wages Boro<\/a> would be willing and able to pay remains to be seen, but if they can get this deal over the line, it would elevate their promotion hopes substantially.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Middlesbrough are reportedly interested in bringing in Leeds United’s out-of-favour forward Joel Piroe to The Riverside this January…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":699442,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8814],"tags":[748,393,4884,1860,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-699441","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-leeds","8":"tag-britain","9":"tag-england","10":"tag-great-britain","11":"tag-leeds","12":"tag-uk","13":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115903727242974979","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/699441","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=699441"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/699441\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/699442"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=699441"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=699441"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=699441"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
