Leeds have continued their strong start to the Championship which leaves them in good shape to eye promotion back to the top flight.
Marcelo Bielsa’s crazy style in management has been brilliant to watch as well as successful on the pitch, meaning Leeds really are in with a chance at having a strong season.
The Peacocks would like to think that with the addition of a few new faces in the January transfer window, they would be set to make a Premier League return and as proven in years gone by, squad depth is massively important in the Championship.
Kemar Roofe continues to come up with the goals but should anything happen to the forward, they should recruit Jermain Defoe to come in and take his place.
Defoe, who is valued at £2.2 million on Transfermarkt, is a player that could still offer a lot to a team like Leeds, despite now being 36-years-old.
Currently at Bournemouth, he has managed just 21 minutes of Premier League action so far this season, whilst Callum Wilson and Josh King continue to push the Cherries up the table.
Defoe is a striker that has continued to score goals at whatever team he finds himself, making him one of the most clinical English strikers on his day.
Leeds would have hoped their big summer signing Patrick Bamford would have had more of an impact up until this point, so instead, they have been solely reliant on Kemar Roofe.
Jermain Defoe could not only take the strain away from other players in cup matches for example, he is still good enough to make his way into the starting line-up permanently, making this a move for Leeds they should consider.
Do you agree… Let us know!
