According to the Daily Mail, Leeds United are considering offloading Bamford and signing Dor Turgemana winger/striker who currently plays for Maccabi Tel Aviv. Bamford, who has been at Leeds since 2018, has made eight appearances for the Whites in the league this season, as injuries continue to hamper his availability, failing to start every game.

Bamford is under contract until 2026, but his availability is not as stable as Farke would like, with Leeds looking to replace him come January.

The report claims that Leeds are looking to strengthen their front line in order to boost their campaign and give them another option if Bamford leaves in January. Turgeman is a man who has been on Leeds’ radar for some time and has left scouts at the club impressed.

It was reported earlier this month that Leeds had made a move to sign Turgemanwho can spend money £4 millionand is now considering whether to go ahead with plans to sign the player. Leeds also have other options under consideration, but Turgeman, 21, looks like a promising talent with a high ceiling.
