The Golden Boot has not been won by a Leeds United player since Chris Wood scored 27 goals for Garry Monk in the 2016–17 season.
Joel Piroe is currently attempting to buck this In a season without Chuba Akpom or Aleksandr Mitrovic, a win in the early 20s would be sufficient to guarantee the title of highest scorer in this year’s championship.

For the Yorkshire giants as a whole, another season of second-tier football offers about as much interest as a drawing pin in the retina. Piroe hopes to join Chris Wood in Leeds’ annals. Leeds will visit Kenilworth Road in Saturday’s midday kickoff after one win in five games.
But do Leeds actually have enough reliable firepower in the last third, even if promotion eludes them once more?
Is another center-forward needed this summer, given the interest in Vladyslav Vanat of Dynamo Kyiv and Ukraine?
Given that Leeds has outscored Sheffield United, who are currently atop the table, by 22 goals this season, that seems like a strange question. However, Mateo Joseph is still stuck on a meager three, Patrick Bamford hasn’t played since New Year’s Day, and Piroe’s performance is still erratic.
