da lvbet： Leeds aren’t promoted to the Premier League just yet, but with ten points separating themselves and Preston there is a good chance their dream could soon become a reality.
da dobrowin： If that goal is realised, there is a possibility that they could sign one of the most in-demand players in the world – Erling Haaland.
Bleacher Report claimed last week that if he moves to England, Leeds is the likely landing spot for the striker. That, however, depends on whether the Whites go up.
Haaland is Leeds-born. He knows the club well and his father, Alf-Inge, played for the Elland Road outfit. The Norwegian has even previously iterated his desires to win the English top-flight with Leeds.
It would be a colossal deal if it was to happen. After all, this is a player being chased by Manchester United and Juventus.
That being said, if Leeds is his most likely destination for an English club, it would surely make them Premier League-ready.
At just 19 years of age, Haaland has quickly become one of the most deadly in Europe. In 22 outings this season, he’s scored 28 times. Eight of those strikes have come in the Champions League, a run where he scored against Premier League leaders Liverpool.
That gives an indication that he has what it takes to produce on the greatest stage and against one of the best teams in the world.
But that doesn’t tell the full story of the man linked with Leeds. Jurgen Klopp has described him as “exceptional” in recent months, claiming he is a “big talent with a wonderful future.”
Meanwhile, the player himself has claimed he’s the next Zlatan Ibrahimovic, with newspaper’s previously comparing the duo’s frame and stature, as well as their ability to score goals.
A true test for any Leeds fan: Can you match these iconic images with the right results?
Haaland isn’t your modern-day striker. Instead, he has the look of a classic old-school centre forward. The teenager is a natural poacher and based on the reviews and goals he’s clocked this season, any team would be lucky to have him.
If Leeds achieve promotion and manage to land the forward, it would be a mighty sign of intent.
