Leeds: 'Undoubted' Marsch & Orta Elland Road signing now revealed

Leeds could look to sign a striker with Premier League experience this summer, according to transfer insider Dean Jones.

Patrick Bamford remains Leeds’ only senior option up front, and Jones reckons that Jesse Marsch will look to bolster his frontline when the transfer window reopens for business.

Marsch has made a positive impact since he replaced Marcelo Bielsa a couple of months ago, made more impressive by the fact he’s virtually done it without a recognised striker.

Bamford has started just two of his six games in charge, playing just 100 minutes in total, which has forced the Leeds manager to deploy Daniel James in an unfamiliar false nine role.

Rodrigo has also played through the middle on a number of occasions this season, while youngster Joe Gelhardt has started two top-flight games, and has two goals and one assist for his efforts.

As a result, Jones reckons the Elland Road outfit will push for another striker this summer and is expecting Marsch to target someone who’s previously played in the Premier League.

He told GIVEMESPORT: “They’re undoubtedly going to sign a new striker.

“Personally, I think they will look for someone who’s already done it in the Premier League because they’ve seen other players, Rodrigo, for example, he’s a great player, but he’s taken a long time to understand life in the Premier League.”

Jones previously told GiveMeSport that he thinks Marsch could look to sign Watford’s Emmanuel Dennis, who’s scored 10 goals in his debut Premier League campaign but could be on the move if the Hornets get relegated, which is looking likelier with every passing week.
