Leeds urged to pursue striker upgrade as European ambitions grow

Leeds United head into the 2026/27 season with genuine optimism after securing Premier League survival, and Daniel Farke now has the opportunity to guide the club towards a top-half finish and even challenge for European qualification.

With newly promoted Hull City and Coventry City adjusting to life in the top flight, while Ipswich Town begin a new era under fresh management, Leeds could strengthen their position if they continue recruiting wisely.

However, further improvement may require an upgrade in attack before the transfer window closes.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin exceeded expectations following his free transfer from Everton, finishing as Leeds’ leading scorer with 14 Premier League goals despite concerns over his fitness.

Nevertheless, his overall performances suggest there is room for improvement.

The striker underperformed his expected goals (xG) figure of 16.67, indicating he missed several good opportunities.

His tally of 20 big chances missed was the second-highest in the division, raising concerns about his consistency in front of goal.

Beyond scoring, Calvert-Lewin also struggled to influence Leeds’ build-up play, completing only 58% of his passes and succeeding with just 26% of his dribbles, highlighting limitations in his all-round game.

Leeds have already invested heavily this summer by signing Tarik Muharemovic and continue to be linked with James Trafford, Shea Charles and Julian Brandt.

However, Stuttgart striker Ermedin Demirović has emerged as another priority target.

According to reports, Leeds remain interested in the Bosnian international despite competition from Juventus and Fenerbahçe, while Stuttgart are believed to value him at around £25m.

Demirović has scored 32 goals over the past two seasons and produced superior underlying numbers compared to Calvert-Lewin.

Although he scored fewer league goals last season, he required significantly fewer minutes per goal, missed only half as many big chances and recorded better shooting accuracy.

The 28-year-old also offers greater creativity and technical quality, boasting a much higher pass completion rate and completing twice as many successful dribbles.

Those attributes suggest he could provide a more complete attacking presence for Farke’s side.

If Leeds are serious about pushing towards the Premier League’s top half, investing £25m in Demirović could prove to be a decisive move.
