Availability is proving the biggest problem for Leeds United in the home stretch of the summer transfer window as their desired strikers remain off the table for now. Chief executive Angus Kinnear has lifted the lid on how the final 11 days of the window look in his Chelsea programme notes.
More than six weeks have passed since the club’s last first-team (Joel Robles is a back-up) edition in the form of Luis Sinisterra. Kinnear talked up the value of doing all of that business so early in the summer and allowing time for integration.
The one loose end of the window has been the addition of a striker. Charles De Ketelaere was far and away the primary target of the summer, but since a €40m offer went begging, that slot has been the elephant in the room.
