With Daniel Farke keen on adding a striker, Leeds United will reportedly have to pay £15 million to recruit Joel Piroe from Swansea City this summer.
Leeds must complete a number of tasks in the coming days and weeks if they are to be ready for the start of the Championship season in less than a fortnight.
Leeds’ striker situation is a source of concern, following the difficulties of players other than Rodrigo in front of goal last season.
Joel Piroe to Leeds United?
Leeds are the latest club to enter the race for Swansea attacker Joel Piroe this summer, according to WalesOnline.
The Dutchman has scored 41 goals in his last two seasons in the EFL, and is into the final year of his contracts, with “crunch talks” taking place last week to discuss his future.
Leicester City and Southampton are also said to be keen in signing the striker, indicating stiff competition for the Whites to overcome.
What is Piroe’s price tag?
Mail Plus have now shared the asking price we can expect to see the South Wales club command if Leeds or others are to pursue this with an official approach.
They claim that Swansea are set to ask for £15million to let the 23-year-old leave this summer:
“Leeds have also joined clubs asking about Swansea’s Joel Piroe, who has also had interest from Leicester City, Everton and Southampton, but he is expected to cost around £15m.”
If Piroe is valued at no more than £15 million, we and others should be tempted to pursue him, because there are ways to organize it in our favor.
We staggered the signing of Helder Costa (£16m) across four years, and we could do the same here to make it more bearable for the club’s finances.
Leeds would be getting a guaranteed goalscorer in Piroe, who has performed admirably in a possession-based system.
We need to test the waters now if it takes this much to sign him.
