Leeds’ attack if targets land, with Mudryk loan interest and £40m striker aim | OneFootball

Leeds United are shaping Daniel Farke’s attack ahead of the 1 September deadline. According to yorkshireeveningpost.co.uk, there is loan interest in Chelsea winger Mykhailo Mudryk and a striker is on the wishlist.

Farke’s side opened the 2026/27 Premier League season with a 1-0 victory at Nottingham Forest on Saturday, Anton Stach sealing it with a late free-kick.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin stays. A free signing last summer, he struck 14 goals and should benefit from a full pre-season, though competition remains essential.

Lukas Nmecha also stays. Another free addition, he scored six league goals, and while hold-up demands tested him, he looks a sound third-choice option.

Joel Piroe has joined West Ham on loan after failing to start a league game beyond August and not scoring. Any obligation could be worth north of £10m.

Harry Gray, 17, impressed at Rotherham and will spend this season at Sheffield Wednesday. The hope is sustained minutes and goals.

Mateo Joseph’s Mallorca loan ended with an ACL injury and rehab is underway at Leeds. A January move could follow if he is fit.

With Carlos Espi now at Real Madrid, he is only a placeholder for the profile Leeds still need, a top-end striker to challenge Calvert-Lewin. The club were prepared to commit close to £40m in January and may need a similar outlay, with no fresh links and nothing doing around Liam Delap.
