Leeds United have Panathinaikos striker Fotis Ioannidis on their radar as they look to further strengthen their attacking options this summer, according to the BBC.
Leeds are set to announce Dominic Calvert-Lewin at any moment from now after he had a medical on Wednesday, but the Elland Road club want another striker.
Ioannidis has now emerged as a potential target as Whites manager Daniel Farke prepares for life back in the Premier League, and the 25-year-old Greece international could be keen on a move.
Ioannidis has been linked with the Premier League in recent windows, and he could finally be on his way to England if Leeds firm up their interest with a bid.
Ipswich Town wanted the ‘dangerous’ Panathinaikos star last summer, and West Ham United were reportedly looking to sign him during the last January transfer window.
Leicester City also wanted him a year ago and he is unlikely to be short of interest as the West Yorkshire club look to recruit his services.
The 6ft 2in number 9 has dominated the Super League Greece recently, with 34 goals to his name over the last two campaigns.
His style of play is perfect for the Premier League club, and he could prove to be a hit with Leeds should a deal work out.
Farke needs all the attacking firepower he can get in his bid to keep the Whites up given his underwhelming managerial record in the top-flight.
AC Milan attacker Noah Okafor is also under consideration, while Tottenham Hotspur winger Manor Solomon reportedly wishes to return to Leeds after his return of ten goals and 13 assists in 41 games during his loan spell last term.
It is very crucial for the club to hit the ground running when they kick off the 2025-26 Premier League campaign at home against Everton on Monday, and Farke could do with much-needed additions to his squad in the coming days.
