Nigel Martyn thinks that Leeds United need to sign a striker in the summer transfer window.
The former Leeds goalkeeper has also suggested why Leeds head coach Marcelo Bielsa needs to bring to Elland Road this summer.
The Yorkshire Evening Post quotes Martyn as saying: “I’d like to see some fresh faces in the summer – probably another striker.
“I know he plays a good style of football, keeping the ball, and to be able to do that, you probably need five in midfield at that standard.
“That enables you to keep the ball, but (Patrick) Bamford, (Kemar) Roofe or whoever is upfront, sometimes they get a little bit isolated.”
Striker needed
Kemar Roofe did well for Leeds this past season, scoring 15 goals and providing two assists in 28 Championship starts, according to WhoScored.
Bamford also did relatively well considering his injury struggles, as the former Middlesbrough forward scored nine goals and provided two assists in 16 Championship starts for the Whites, according to WhoScored.
Both Roofe and Bamford had injury spells this past season, and Tyler Roberts is still very young.
Bielsa should have signed another striker in the January transfer window, and perhaps the Leeds head coach will rectify that mistake this summer.
Leeds reached the Championship playoff this past season, and the West Yorkshire outfit will be aiming to finish in the top two during the 2019-20 campaign.
