Leeds United are interested in signing Michail Antonio, who wants to leave West Ham in the final weeks of the summer transfer season.
According to a surprising report from Football Transfers, Celtic are also interested in the Jamaica international ahead of the deadline.
The draw with Cardiff City on Sunday demonstrated that Daniel Farke sorely needs another striker. Sadly, counting on Patrick Bamford to stay in shape has become practically impossible. Georginio Rutter, on the other hand, is still a work in progress.
Leeds is reportedly interested in Michail Antonio.
Leeds were able to score twice as a result of the skill that the team still possesses in the final third. However, the game may have been won if the Whites had a merciless striker to convert the chances created.
And Michail Antonio is a potentially exciting signing. Leeds are one of the clubs interested in Antonio, who wants to leave the London Stadium, according to Football Transfers.
Antonio ending up at Elland Road would be a surprise. Leeds can give Antonio more playing time. However, he will undoubtedly want to play at the best level possible at this point in his career.
Meanwhile, Leeds’ recent transfer activity shows that Farke may not have much money to spend until players leave. Even at the age of 33, Antonio is not going to be cheap.
However, if Leeds do receive some funding, they are one of the second-tier teams capable of pulling off a major upset.
Antonio, who earlier called the club’s decision to fire Marcelo Bielsa ‘insane,’ would be a big statement signing for the club’s new majority owners.
But it’s hardly surprising that supporters aren’t holding their breath on this link for the time being.
