After a whirlwind of a season for Leeds United, from being top of the table at Christmas to just missing out on automatic promotion and then promotion through the play-offs, Marcelo Bielsa is looking for players to aid the team to promotion next season.
Leeds United have confirmed Bielsa will be staying on for another season in the Championship in attempt to win promotion with his squad.
The Whites’ search has started with Southampton’s young striker, Sam Gallagher.
According to reports cited in the Football Insider, Gallagher has been made available by Southampton and Leeds are closely following the situation.
Gallagher played only six times for Southampton in this past season and will be hoping to feature more wherever he is next season.
The 23-year-old has demonstrated his potential when on loan at MK Dons, Blackburn Rovers, and Birmingham City.
Bielsa will be looking for a striker this transfer window after not having the end to the season he wanted. Leeds failed to keep up with Norwich City and Sheffield United, mainly due to the chances they created vs the number of goals scored.
After finishing the season 20 goals behind champions Norwich City, Leeds will be hoping the potential signing of England’s Under-20 international will mean more goals and perhaps promotion next season.
