Leeds United will be hoping they’ve finally turned a corner after their sensational 2-1 win over Liverpool on Saturday.

Rodrigo Moreno and Crysencio Summerville scored the goals that took them out of the relegation zone.

A report from 90Min suggests Leeds are considering improving their attacking options in January.

One of the main areas of concern for Jesse Marsch will be the form of his forwards.

Patrick Bamford has returned to full fitness after a number of injury layoffs.

However, he can’t find his shooting boots at the moment, and has squandered a number of great chances in recent weeks.

After a brilliant start to the season, Rodrigo now has two goals in two games after going six matches without finding the back of the net.

Marsch knows that he needs to find a consistent goal scorer if Leeds aren’t going to be flirting with relegation once again.

The report from 90Min suggests that Leeds want to sign Rennes forward Martin Terrier and have been watching in the last two weeks.

Terrier has been in fantastic form this season, and has already reached double figures for his goal tally in all competitions.

The ‘complete’ forward has attracted plenty of Premier League interest in the past few months, and now Leeds could act on it.

Leeds want to sign Terrier

The report suggests Leeds are one of seven English clubs that have been watching Terrier.

He’s also attracting interest from Italy and Germany and could set Leeds back more than £30m in January.

90Min believe that Liverpool were considering signing Terrier in the summer as they looked to fill the hole left by Sadio Mane.

Instead Darwin Nunez was brought in to replace the Senegalese winger.

A report from Leeds Live in the summer suggested that Terrier didn’t tick enough boxes for Leeds.

He’s silenced those critics with his performances this summer, and is once again attracting Leeds’ attention.

Terrier can play all across the front three, but tends to start on the left wing before cutting in on his preferred right foot.

It’s no surprise given how prolific Terrier has been that Leeds want to sign him.

Whether Victor Orta and Andrea Radrizzani can convince him to come to Elland Road may be the biggest challenge.
