Leeds transfer targets is set to become a frequently searched term online as Jesse Marsch aims to bring reinforcements to Elland Road.

Stunning wins against Liverpool and Bournemouth before the start of the World Cup eased relegation fears in Yorkshire, although the Whites still find themselves 15th in the Premier League, two points off the drop zone.

Therefore, some January signings certainly wouldn’t go amiss, so let’s take a look at three key targets for Victor Orta to work on…

Leeds transfer targets

Pedro

Pedro put his name up in lights at Flamengo with 29 goals in 59 appearances last season, earning him a place in Brazil’s World Cup squad.

According to Ben Jacobs of CBS Sports, Marsch is a big fan of the South American, and hopes to bring him to Leeds.

With Patrick Bamford struggling for form as well as fitness, a new striker is absolutely necessary.

Fabiano Parisi

After Junior Firpo suffered a serious knee injury back in the summer, Pascal Struijk has been covering at left-back.

The Dutchman has done very well, although Marsch still needs a natural left-back to play that role, which is why we think his interest in Empoli defender Fabiano Parisi is key.

According to Tutto Mercato Web, Leeds remain interested, having attempted to sign the Italian in the summer, and with Empoli demanding just £13m, we can see a deal materialising.

However, they face competition from Everton – according to Pianeta Empoli.

Dominik Livakovic

The Croatia international made a name for himself in Qatar with some superb performances in between the sticks, most notably against the likes of Neymar as Brazil crashed out at the quarter-final stage.

Dominik Livakovic helped Croatia finish third at the World Cup, with Media Foot stating that Leeds want to sign him amid fears they may lose Illan Meslier to Manchester United or Chelsea.

The French news outlet believe a deal can be done for just £9m in 2023, which means Leeds could even afford to sign him before they potentially lose Meslier, therefore adding greater competition to the goalkeeping department, and possibly better displays from their current No.1 – only time will tell what happens.
