Leeds’ Roofe emerges as transfer target for Southampton

Southampton will face competition from Wolves and Crystal Palace in the race to sign Kemar Roofe from Leeds United during the January transfer window.

The Sunday Mirror, as cited on Birmingham Live, claims that the Eagles have shortlisted the former Oxford United man as a potential target as they go in search of a player to solve their goalscoring problems.

Roofe has impressed in the Championship this season, with Leeds flying high under Marcelo Bielsa.

He is among the top scorers in the division with seven goals and two assists to his name already.

Roofe has been on the radar of several Premier League clubs for some time and it is believed that Wolves and Palace are also keeping tabs on the player.

All three clubs have struggled for a regular source of goals in the final third and could look to strengthen in January.

Leeds will be desperate to keep hold of the player, who will be key in their fight for promotion.
