"Something is coming" - Journalist now drops teasing Leeds United transfer verdict

Leeds United do have the funds to sign a new striker before the transfer window closes, claims journalist Dean Jones.

The Yorkshire club are currently being linked with FC Zurich’s Wilfried Gnonto amid Patrick Bamford’s latest injury setback, and Jones thinks a centre-forward arriving is certainly a possibility.

According to the MailOnline, Leeds have enquired about signing Gnonto, who could be allowed to leave his club for just £4m this summer.

The 18-year-old is yet to score in the Swiss Super League this season, but he was able to register eight goals in 33 outings in the same competition last term, which is a respectable return for a teenager.

Leeds’ interest comes at a time where Bamford is struggling to stay fit, with the England international missing his side’s incredible 3-0 win against Chelsea on Sunday due to a slight groin problem.

Bamford also missed most of last season because of injury, so Jesse Marsch bringing in a new striker is a bit of a no-brainer.

Jones has told GIVEMESPORT that Leeds have the money to make something happen before the market shuts as they continue to be linked with Gnonto.

Speaking to GMS, the transfer insider said: “Leeds are chasing others right now as well, no doubt. There is still a worry about back-up for Bamford and they have cash available, so I think something is coming.”

As touched on earlier, Leeds bringing in a new No.9 seems like something they have to do.

Rodrigo, the other senior forward option in the Whites’ squad, has started the season on fire. The 31-year-old has already scored four league goals, including in that recent victory over Chelsea. To put that into perspective, last term, he netted just six times in 31 top-flight appearances.

Still, Rodrigo is not exactly
