Leeds United currently have Chris Wood thriving up front.
Leeds United will go into the international break in the play-off places. The Yorkshire side are sixth in the league after beating Norwich City 3-2 at Carrow Road yesterday afternoon.
It was a fantastic performance from Leeds who are now starting to look like genuine play-off contenders for the rest of the season.

With Leeds seemingly moving into a new gear the club will be looking toward January, knowing that one or two perfect additions could be the difference between promotion and being nearly-men.
But who do they bring in? Former Leeds United striker Noel Whelan believes a striker should be their main concern.

The BBC Leeds pundit told BBC Radio Leeds yesterday that the club need to bring in an imposing striker as back-up to current front-man Chris Wood:
“A striker I think (is what Leeds need).
“I think they’ve got to look for a like-for-like striker for Chris Wood just in case.
“He is integral to how we play.”
Leeds United’s Souleymane Doukara
Currently Leeds have Marcus Antonsson as a back-up to Wood, with Souleymane Doukara and Kemar Roofe also capable of playing through the middle.
But a big striker with an eye for goal appears to be the sort of player Whelan feels Leeds should sign.
Many Leeds fans will certainly agree that a striker is needed to improve the depth of the Leeds squad this winter.
It will be interesting to see if Garry Monk agrees.
