Leeds United are in the market for proven Premier League quality and have now been offered the chance to sign a striker who has previously delivered in the English top-flight, according to a report.

Daniel Farke wants Leeds United to add attacking quality

It comes as no secret that the key to staying in the Premier League is by possessing an adequate level of attacking flair. Still, nobody is under any illusions that smart recruitment is needed at Elland Road to ensure options are up to scratch.

Speaking after his side’s pre-season draw to Villarreal, Daniel Farke has admitted Leeds need to acquire competition in the final third as his side are ‘not ready’ to take on the rigours of England’s most prestigious division without reinforcements.

He stated: “We are not naive. We know that even in comparison to our Championship offence, you could say that we are not much improved. We know in the offence we are not ready for Premier League level. We’ve proven we can be ready for one game and for that I am not too concerned at the moment as it stands.”

With that in mind, Leeds are still very much in the race to sign Everton’s Beto after previously being linked with a move for the Toffees’ forward earlier in the window.

Versatile attacker Jota Silva is also on the Whites’ radar and looks set to leave Nottingham Forest. Nevertheless, Sporting Lisbon are also in the race to sign the Portugal international.

Time is marching on, and plenty of work remains to be done. Now, Leeds have been offered someone who could revolutionise their attack in the Premier League.

Leeds United offered chance to sign Aleksandar Mitrovic

Accoridng to TBR Football, Leeds have been offered the chance to sign Al-Hilal forward Aleksandar Mitrovic by intermediaries and it remains to be seen whether a potential loan move could materialise involving the Serbia international.

Fulham and Sunderland have also been contacted over his potential availability amid speculation that the former Newcastle United man could leave the Gulf region as his current employers enter the market for a new striker.

How many goals has Aleksandar Mitrovic scored in the Premier League?
Appearances	129
Goals	38
Assists	11

Labelled a “sensation” by former Fulham boss Slavisa Jokanovic, the 30-year-old is a recognisable name with considerable top-flight experience that could meet Farke wish to improve his pool of attacking options.

However, it remains to be seen whether his wages would be affordable for Leeds, given that Mitrovic is said to earn £400,000 per week on the books at the Al-Hilal Stadium.

Scoring 68 goals in 79 appearances since his departure from Fulham, the Smederevo-born man has maintained the consistency shown from his time in England and if he were to arrive at Elland Road could certainly have a positive impact on their survival chances.
