Leeds United fans want to sign Tim Krul and Burnley striker Sam Vokes this summer.

Leeds United fans on Twitter have expressed their interest in signing Tim Krul and Sam Vokes from Brighton & Hove Albion and Burnley respectively.

Signing a goalkeeper and a striker must be high on Leeds’ list of priorities this summer after a disappointing Championship campaign which promises a mid-table finish.

Director of Football Victor Orta signed plenty of players last summer but so many were unknown quantities who have so far failed to justify their moves to Elland Road.

As a result, Orta could and should be targeting some Championship-proven players this summer and Leeds fans like the look of a double deal for Krul and Vokes.

Both might be available. The former Newcastle goalkeeper hasn’t kicked a ball for the Seagulls in the Premier League this season following his move from St James’s Park and could therefore be eager to get regular football next season.

And the Burnley striker has had to accept a bit-part role with the high-flying Clarets this season, only starting seven Premier League games and he too could leave in search of first-team football this summer.

The 28-year-old, who has four goals in the league this season, joined Leeds on a short-term loan in 2009 when they were in League One, netting once in eight outings.
