Leeds United are looking to bring in new players this summer, and one name on their list is German striker Davie Selke.
The 30-year-old forward just had a great season with Hamburg in Germany, helping them win promotion back to the Bundesliga.
Now, his contract is ending, and he could be available on a free transfer.
Leeds Need More Power Up Front
Leeds will be back in the Premier League next season, and they know the challenge will be tough.
While Joel Piroe scored 19 goals last season, the club wants more strength and depth in the attack. Selke could be just the type of player Leeds need.
Selke is tall and strong, he stands at 6ft 3inch and is very good in the air.
Many of his 22 goals last season came from headers or crosses into the box. He uses his strength to push defenders out of the way and find space to score.
Leeds might be thinking that his style could work well in the Premier League.
Other Clubs Also Interested
Leeds are not the only club looking at Selke. West Ham and Fulham from the Premier League are also said to be interested.
Reports say that Leeds have already spoken to Selke’s agent about his wages. This shows that Leeds are serious about getting him.
RB Leipzig, Selke’s old club, are also in the race to sign him. He left them eight years ago, but now they might want him back. This means Leeds will have to move fast if they want to beat the other clubs.
A Good Fit for Daniel Farke?
Manager Daniel Farke may feel that Selke can bring something different to the team. Leeds are trying to build a side that is strong, quick, and ready for Premier League football.
Adding someone like Selke, who is experienced and confident in front of goal, could help the team score more goals and win more matches.
Bringing in Davie Selke on a free deal could be a smart move for Leeds United.
He’s proven he can score goals, and his physical style may suit English football. With West Ham, Fulham, and RB Leipzig also keen, Leeds need to act fast.
Let’s see if Leeds can win the race and bring Selke to Elland Road.
