Leeds United are chasing the £4m Red Bull-owned striker described as the ‘next Haaland’

But earlier this month, Aaronson confirmed he is returning to Elland Road as he feels he has unfinished business at Leeds. Resolves the lack of options in the No.10 role ahead of a second push for promotion.

Leeds struggled at times last season from set-pieces and breaking a low deadlock. Daniel Farke’s men often lacked something a little different, perhaps a target man to score goals from a set piece or hold the ball up.

Leeds are now considering a move for the Serbia Euro 2024 forward

The 49ers are reportedly eyeing a move to change that, with Ben Jacobs reporting on Give Me Sport that Leeds are interested in signing RedBull Salzburg forward Petar Ratkov following Red Bull’s investment.

Of course, Leeds have done plenty of business with Salzburg in the past, bringing in the likes of Rasmus Kristensen, Max Wober and Aaronson from the Austrian giants in the past two years.

Ratkov is also a target for Rangers, who tried to sign the Serbia ace last summer but failed, with Ratkov opting to join Salzburg for £4m. Given that he is currently in Salzburg, he has been called the ‘next Haaland’.

Leeds need players in every position apart from a striker

Illan Meslier’s future is always a bit of a doubt in goal and a right-back is crucial with Connor Roberts gone and Archie Gray likely to move to midfield. Joe Rodon needs to be replaced in the middle of the defense.

In the middle, cover is needed if Ethan Ampadu is to stay in central defence. Cover is needed on the left for Junior Firpo, while Crysencio Summerville and Willy Gnonto will soon leave Leeds.

So new singers will be signed especially with the departure of Jaidon Anthony. But up top, Leeds are well stocked with Patrick Bamford, Mateo Joseph and Joel Piroe. Although Ratkov looks decent, he is not a priority.
