Leeds continue striker search
LONDON, England (AP) — Leeds United Manager Jesse Marsch is not in a hurry to strengthen his team’s attack despite the club having failed to sign a new striker.
Leeds have added eight new players since narrowly avoiding relegation on the last day of last season but has so far missed out on its striker targets — including Charles De Ketelaere who chose AC Milan instead. Patrick Bamford started up front in Saturday’s 2-1 win over Wolverhampton.
The club remains in the market for a striker but Marsch said it’s all about finding the right fit.
“A lot of it is looking for the right profile, what age we want, without suffocating some of the young players getting chances in the next few years,” Marsch said ahead of Saturday’s game at Southampton.
“The way I like to play the game, we ask a lot of our strikers to work hard, to press. It’s a very demanding position, the way I like to play. We’re trying to find the right one and I think we are being very aggressive in evaluating what’s out there.”
