Leeds United are being backed to sign a "third number nine" during the January transfer window, with former striker Jermaine Beckford suggesting the move would provide extra competition for England international Dominic Calvert-Lewin.
Beckford, who played for Leeds between 2006 and 2010, believes adding another forward would strengthen the squad's attacking options. The club has been linked with several striking targets as they look to bolster their frontline for the second half of the season.
Lukas Nmecha has also been mentioned in connection with Leeds' attacking plans. The 2026-27 campaign sees the Yorkshire club aiming to consolidate their Premier League position, and reinforcement in the striking department appears to be a priority for the January window.
