Leeds United have already formed good contacts at Manchester City, after bringing in Jack Harrison this summer.

Lukas Nmecha of England celebrates scoring a goal during the UEFA European Under-19 Championship Final between England and Portugal on July 15, 2017 in Gori, Georgia.

Leeds United should consider Lukas Nmecha, with Manchester City said to be thinking of sending the striker out on loan again, according to the Manchester Evening News.

Leeds’ lack of a goalscorer last term cost them, as both Kemar Roofe and Patrick Bamford failed to take the chances that came their way with enough frequency.

Leeds now could be on the look out for a new forward, and it seems that they are having to use the loan market rather than seek permanent additions.

Nmecha, therefore, should be on Leeds’ radar as he could offer a lot of the qualities which Marcelo Bielsa’s side are looking for.

Nmecha spent last season acclimatising to playing in the Championship with Preston North End, and after a slow start he started to show his ability towards the end of the campaign.

The German born forward was often used on the wing at Preston, but his pace caused defences problems.

Nmecha ended the season with just three goals to his name, but his form at youth level football proves he can be a frequent scorer, as he has almost a goal to game ratio in the Premier League development league.

Nmecha’s game is more than just about goals anyway, as his pace and strength can be a major threat.

With a full season’s worth of experience under his belt, the 20-year-old could well make a real breakthrough next term.

And Leeds should attempt to make sure they are the club where Nmecha really goes on to fulfil his potential at.
