Leeds United need to have a busy final two weeks of the transfer window.

The Whites have lost some of their most important players in recent weeks, and they haven’t replaced them yet.

Crysencio Summerville has gone to West Ham, while Georginio Rutter is heading to Brighton.

Leeds, quite clearly need some attacking reinforcements, and a number of players have been linked.

Jonathan Rowe is someone Leeds are keen on, while Jesurun Rak-Sakyi has also been linked to Leeds.

Now, another attacking option has been linked with a move to Leeds United.

Leeds want Rabbi Matondo

According to Football Scotland, Leeds want to sign Rabbi Matondo this summer.

The 23-year-old has been at Rangers for the past two years, and he hasn’t exactly been shining over in Scotland, netting just five league goals for the Ibrox outfit.

Matondo is a Wales international, and that may well help Leeds land the winger.

Indeed, Leeds have a strong Welsh cohort at the club already made up of Joe Rodon, Dan James and Ethan Ampadu.

Matondo may not have scored tons of goals for Rangers in recent years, but there’s reason to believe he could be brilliant for Leeds.

Rabbi Matondo and Dan James could be an exciting duo

Matondo may not be the most clinical attacker, but he does have electric pace.

Matondo’s top speed has been clocked at 35.66 km/h. For context, Dan James has been clocked at 35.67 km/h, so these two are neck and neck in terms of pace.

James, as all Leeds fans will know, is absolutely rapid, and the fact that Matondo is just 0.01 km/h slower than James shows just how dangerous the Wales star’s speed is.

Leeds could have one of the most frightening duos in the Championship if they both play in the same team on opposite wings.
