Leeds United unlikely to meet Milan fee as Weston McKennie ‘to be monitored’ | OneFootball

Leeds United are bracing for a pivotal January in their fight for survival, with attacking reinforcements under review.

Daniel Farke’s side have found recent form in front of goal, scoring nine in four Premier League games, and Dominic Calvert-Lewin is in good nick, yet extra depth to support options such as Calvert-Lewin and Noah Okafor remains on the agenda.

Football Insider reports that Leeds are unlikely to meet AC Milan’s valuation for Santiago Jimenez. The Italians are said to want around £25-35m and the striker has yet to score in Serie A this season.

Any striker addition is said to be more likely on loan because of current financial restrictions.

SportsBoom reports that Leeds are monitoring former loanee Weston McKennie, who is unsettled at Juventus, while West Ham United are also believed to hold interest. The USA international struggled to impress during his 2023 spell at Elland Road.

“Okay, I will say this, Leeds as a club, the people within the club I liked,” he told CBS Sports Golazo.

“The city itself and the surroundings were a little bit hard. It was always grey, I had a sunlight window in my house, and there was never any sun coming through.”

“No Sunday roast, no nothing. I was alone. My area was like no area, nothing around. I went up to see Harry Potter World, which was like an hour away. That’s it, that’s all I did, and golf.”
