Leeds United Looking for a strong place to end their tenure championship By the end of the season, with the boss Daniel Falk Supervisor does a great job.

His team was ransacked during the summer transfer window, losing arguably its three most important players: Georginio Root, Crissencio Somerville and Archie Gray Total £105m before add-ons.

Despite such departures, the German still has the Whites in second place after the first 21 games, three points behind current leaders Sheffield United.

However, despite the club boasting the best goalscoring record in the division, management are still planning to add reinforcements in January to bolster their promotion ambitions.

Therefore, they have found a player who could significantly improve Falke’s options at the top of the pitch if they complete a deal for his services.

Leeds United target European stars in January

According to the Daily Mail, Leeds United considering potential transfers Maccabi Tel Aviv forward Dole Tugman ahead of the upcoming transfer window.

The 21-year-old has impressed in recent months, Scored 9 goals in 21 games He has scored four goals in the Europa League so far this season, including one against Spanish giants Real Sociedad.

The report makes no mention of a potential price for the Israeli talisman, but does claim that Farke’s side have been scouting him over the past few months in preparation for a potential move.

However, Tugman’s valuation is €3.5m (£2.9m) according to Transfermarktbut given the youngster’s recent goal-scoring performances, it’s unlikely he will be able to buy him at that price.

Tugman can also operate on either side, making him a versatile option whose relentless pressing nature sees him in the club’s final third as he enters the final months of the 2024/25 season. One of the outstanding talents.

Such a move could end a player’s spell at Elland Road while also providing the star with an upgrade and boosting the Whites’ promotion ambitions.

Why Tugman’s signing could be the end of Bamford

Leeds striker Patrick Bamford He will always be a name cherished by fans after setting a goalscoring record during his return to the Premier League in 2020/21.

British Scored 17 goals During the Whites’ return to the top flight, he became the division’s fourth top scorer and was named in the England squad for the first time under Gareth Southgate.

However, he has struggled mightily in recent years, scoring the same number of goals as the year before, but this time over four seasons rather than just one.

Injuries limited him Only 9 appearances in 2024/25 season Tugman has so far provided the quality they have been craving at the top of the pitch in recent weeks.

Maccabi Tel Aviv’s talisman, known as “beast on the fieldCurrent manager Zarko Lazetic has put up some impressive numbers, as evidenced by his goalscoring tally.

The 21-year-old is in the Europa League Completed 50% of dribbling, Also won 21 faceoffs, showing he can play a variety of roles, creating opportunities for teammates while doing the team’s dirty work.

Such statistics would make him the perfect forward for Falke’s current 4-2-3-1 system, bringing more attacking threats to the club hoping to return to the Premier League.

However, on the other hand, such a move could spell the end of Bamford’s tenure at Yorkshire, especially given his hefty wages, which see him earn a staggering amount of money £70,000 per week.

It’s a sad end to his time at Elland Road, but ultimately, football is a cutthroat business and the Englishman may need to sacrifice if they are to complete the Tugman deal.
