Leeds have been continuously linked with Huesca attacker Alex Gallar.
It’s been a frustrating season for Leeds United fans. The club had pre-season hopes of promotion, after last season’s seventh-placed finish but a poor recruitment drive in the summer has ultimately seen too many areas lacking in quality.
A confident goalkeeper, lack of defensive organisation, a midfield partnership and a goalscorer capable of the same feats as Chris Wood are just a handful of areas that need addressing in the summer.
But an area that may slip under the radar is a lack of goals from out wide. Only Ezgjan Alioski has proved he can find the back of the net from the flanks, yet the Macedonia international has only managed one in every six games.
Hadi Sacko, Pawel Cibicki are yet to score in the league this season when given the chance in the first team, while Stuart Dallas has managed just two in 23 Championship outings. Kemar Roofe and Pablo Hernandez are better used elsewhere.
Leeds do not boast a goalscoring winger that can find the back of the net on a regular basis and take the pressure off of the likes of Lasogga or indeed another centre-forward, should another be signed in the summer.
It should put weight behind Leeds’ attempts to sign Huesca winger Alex Gallar, who has shown once again this season that he knows where the back of the net is – despite playing in a side that have managed only 44 league goals this term.
Gallar, 25, has scored five goals in 27 league games; a record that does not behold much to get excited about. But 23 goals in 44 at Cultural Leonesa and 10 in 40 at Cornella shows he is a goalscoring winger.
As reported by Diario de Leon, the Whites are keen to sign Alex Gallar from the La Liga 2 leaders and a summer move could be in the offing to land the Spaniard – just one season after Leeds signed Samu Saiz from Huesca.
If the Whites can land the goalscoring winger, they will add an extra dimension to their attack in the pursuit of Premier League promotion.
