Leeds United should feel confident that a deal is there to be done for striker Joel Piroe, after Swansea City's former manager Russell Martin's transfer admission back in April.
Leeds are one of numerous clubs linked with the 23-year-old striker, who has proven one of the most prolific goalscorers in the division with 44 goals in the last two seasons. As well as Leeds, Atalanta, Leicester City, Southampton, Nottingham Forest and Everton have all been linked with the Dutchman.
Piroe has himself said that whatever decision he makes on his future this summer will be made for footballing reasons, suggesting that the right playing style and game-time will be bigger factors than finances. Leeds can certainly feel confident that agreeing a deal with Swansea will be possible, with Piroe in the final year of his contract and Martin admitting back in April before his move to Southampton that Piroe leaving was a realistic possibility.
