Leeds United have been linked with Derby County forward Chris Martin recently.

Chris Martin could be the perfect addition for Leeds United in January, with Victor Orta and Andrea Radrizzani both coming under pressure recently.

Leeds are said by Sky Sports to be interested in signing the Derby County striker on loan until the end of the season, and he looks like an ideal addition.

Leeds’ transfer strategy has been heavily questioned by supporters of late, with targets being brought in from overseas.

The Whites have tended to avoid signing players of proven Championship quality, and their record in the transfer window has been of mixed success.

The addition of Samu Saiz looks to have been a brilliant purchase, but plenty of the Whites’ signings have struggled to make an impression.

With Martin, Leeds fans would know exactly what they are getting though, and he is just what Thomas Christiansen’s side need.

Leeds are yet to find a prolific scorer, with Pierre Michel Lasogga coming in for a great deal of criticism lately.

Martin, on the other hand, almost guarantees goals at Championship level, and if Leeds can strike a deal for the Derby man he would surely be an excellent addition at Elland Road.
