Barnsley striker Cauley Woodrow is reportedly on Leeds United’s radar.

According to The Sun on Sunday (print edition, page 61, January 5, 2020), Leeds United are interested in signing Cauley Woodrow from Barnsley in the January transfer window.

It has been reported by the British tabloid that Leeds have identified Woodrow as the striker to replace Eddie Nketiah.

Nketiah joined the Whites on a season-long loan deal from Arsenal in the summer of 2019, but the striker has been recalled by the Premier League club due to lack of playing time at Elland Road.
