Leeds United would be wise to look at Peterborough ace.
It is fair to say Leeds United’s Chris Wood replacements are yet to convince.
Pawel Cibicki and Jay-Roy Grot are yet to earn starts in the Championship, and have looked poor in the cameo appearances in which they have played.
Pierre-Michel Lasogga may have netted five goals, but Leeds have looked a better team when the Hamburg ace is not in the team.
As they look to their future options, Leeds should be checking out prolific Peterborough United forward Jack Marriott.
Marriott, 23, has scored 10 goals in 16 games for the Posh this season, also adding two assists.
He recently earned the praise of pundit Adam Virgo, who described him as the best striker in League One.
The success of Sheffield United and Billy Sharp should show Leeds that the transition to the Championship should not put Leeds off moving for Marriott.
Peterborough would be reluctant sellers, having only signed the forward from Luton Town on a four-year deal this past summer.
But a hefty bid from Leeds would prove every player has his price, and unlike the Whites’ foreign imports, Marriott would take little time to settle.
