The Daily Mail reports that Leeds United are interested in signing Hoffenheim forward Mergim Berisha during the January transfer window.
The newspaper reported in its sports print edition (6 January, p. 10) that the Whites have “shown interest” in the 26-year-old.
In the current season, the German international has one goal in 17 Bundesliga games.
Leeds United need a January transfer like Mergim Berisha.
Despite surrendering points in the previous two encounters, Daniel Farke’s Peacocks are currently top of the Championship table.
Hull City earned a point at the MKM Stadium with an 89th-minute equaliser from Abu Kamara in a 3-3 draw on January 4th.
Leeds are now just one point clear of Burnley in the league table, looking to secure automatic promotion to the Premier League.
This season, the Whites have relied heavily on Joel Piroe to score goals, while Mateo Joseph appears to be finding his feet at the West Yorkshire club.
Patrick Bamford has fallen down the pecking order throughout the current season, and it remains to be seen what the future holds for the Englishman in the following weeks.
If the former Chelsea striker leaves during the winter transfer window, the Peacocks should strengthen their attacking lineup.
Berisha returned to action this season after missing several years due to an injury.
During his tenure at RB Salzburg and Augsburg, the German scored numerous goals for his sides.
The 26-year-old’s goal-scoring record isn’t great, but Farke may be able to bring out his best at Elland Road.
Adding depth to the backline appears to be a top priority right now, but a move for Berisha might provide the 48-year-old head coach with more alternatives up front.
