​Leeds boss Bielsa targets three Premier League strikers

Leeds United boss Marcelo Bielsa has his eyes on three strikers from the Premier League.

The Elland Road club are on the verge of promotion, and they are hoping to sign players from the top division to help them stay up.

"Marcelo Bielsa was looking to improve in the [January] window with certain players," Former Leeds midfielder Michael Brown told Express Sport.

"The club tried to back that, and offered money and the finances to improve.

"But, the manager has to oversee that and the correct players are out there, that fits his mould, his squad and his way."

It appears Bielsa will get more backing in the summer, and three players he is targeting include Teemu Pukki from Norwich, Che Adams from Southampton, and Andre Gray from Watford.

Leeds' chances of signing these players would depend on their clubs' futures, as all three are possible relegation candidates.

Signing a player from a team that goes down would be easier for Leeds, due to the finances involved.
