Leeds United are keen to sign a new speedy striker in the January transfer window after he was once compared to French legend Franck Ribery. The appointment of former Norwich City boss Daniel Farke in July may have turned out to be the right call so far, as Leeds looked for safe enough candidates for promotion back to the Premier League.

Having won four of their last five league games, Farke’s team began to gain real momentum.
