Leeds United are reportedly reviving their interest in West Ham United striker Ashley Fletcher.
According to The Sun, Leeds United are preparing a January move to sign West Ham United striker Ashley Fletcher on loan.
The Whites have largely used only two strikers this season in Chris Wood and Marcus Antonsson, with Souleymane Doukara out of favour under Garry Monk.

Kemar Roofe can also play up front, but with Monk potentially eyeing up a push for a play-off place, it would be little surprise to see him move for another striking option during the January transfer window.
Now, The Sun report that Leeds are actually set to renew their interest in a summer transfer target, with West Ham United striker Ashley Fletcher back on their radar.

Fletcher, 21, left Manchester United over the summer having failed to break into the Red Devils first team, but he’s played just 151 minutes of Premier League action so far this season, and has mostly played for the Hammers’ Under-23 side.
Leeds attempted to sign Fletcher over the summer when his contract at Old Trafford came to an end, but he chose West Ham instead of a move to Elland Road.

Now though, with Fletcher down the pecking order at the London Stadium, Leeds are allegedly set to make another move to sign the striker on loan during the January transfer window.
Born in Keighley, a move to Leeds would hand Fletcher a return to West Yorkshire, and he should receive plenty of playing time at a good level, which suits all parties.
