Leeds United grabs Davie Selke - competition grows!

Leeds United grabs Davie Selke - competition grows!

LEEDS United screwed on the squad for the upcoming Premier League season and is particularly targeting the offensive. As part of this strategic realignment, the trainer Daniel Farke has an eye on several strikers to increase the necessary goal. The focus is particularly on German attacker Davie Selke, who drew attention to Hamburger SV with 23 goals in 33 games last season. "Leeds United News" reports that Leeds has made direct contact with Selke, which was due to its expiring Contract could be obliged without a transfer.

The situation around Selke is exciting, because the player who has a respectable reputation in German football at Werder Bremen, Hertha BSC and 1. FC Köln could be in a real dilemma. Both Leeds and the Premier League competitor Fulham and West Ham show interest, with Selke also having the option to return to his former Club RB Leipzig. "Express" emphasizes that Leipzig has the best cards, should you decide to commit SELK again, since Red Bull shares holds on both clubs.

Leeds' transfer strategies in view

For Leeds, it is important to find the right balance. With a budget that does not leave too much scope, the club has to make sure that not only one, but possibly even two new strikers. While Leeds is currently undecided about the financial means, they are already avoiding an offer of £ 25 million for the striker Troy Parrott from AZ Alkmaar. The attackers Wilson, Beto, Krstovic and Vardy are also names that have appeared in the conversations for reinforcement.

Farke brings fresh energy into play. The coach, who used to stand out in German football, has already signed players like Ilia Gruev from Werder Bremen. These obligations indicate that Farke has a good knack for talents, which could be seen well in the coming season.

Selkes impressive balance

Selke not only made a name for himself as a top scorer in the 2nd Bundesliga, he also gained gaming experience at an international level, including participation in the 2016 Olympics, where he scored two goals. His physical prerequisites, especially his header and the holding of the ball, make him a player on whom Leeds should definitely put on the opportunity.

The coming weeks are crucial for the squad planning of Leeds United. It remains to be seen whether the competition, especially Leipzig, can foresee a obligation and whether Leeds can finally oblige the hoped -for goal scorer. It is clear to everyone involved that time is pushing and the course must be set quickly for a successful season.
