Leeds United strengthened their attack this summer by signing Lukas Nmecha and Dominic Calvert-Lewin on free transfers, but Daniel Farke wanted one more forward to ensure depth. With both new arrivals prone to injuries, the manager pushed for extra cover up front.
Instead, Leeds endured a frustrating deadline day. Their most notable setback came when a deal for Fulham’s Harry Wilson collapsed after the London club pulled out at the last minute. That left the Whites short in attack, and the early season has highlighted the problem. Calvert-Lewin has yet to start, Joel Piroe is still searching for his first goal, and Nmecha’s lone strike came from the penalty spot against Everton. Without goals from open play, Farke is leaning on midfield and defensive strength, but January looks certain to bring another push for a striker.
