Leeds United must make signing a reliable striker their transfer priority this summer. While Georginio Rutter arrived for big bucks in January, at 20, he is regarded very much as one for the future.
Patrick Bamford has been crippled by injury problems in recent times. To an extent, the 29-year-old’s frequency on the treatment table is the key reason for United’s woes up front.
Since his return earlier this year, Bamford has looked out of sorts, scoring just once in seven outings before missing the 1-0 defeat to Chelsea last weekend with a leg problem. Leeds have also fired a blank in five of their last seven Premier League games - an indication of where their problems lie.
