The report by TEAMtalk states that Leeds want to bring a new striker to the club in the summer transfer window, but their shortlist will be determined based on whether they achieve promotion to the Premier League or not
If the Whites return to the top division of England, they will have more money and a more desirable roster to sign. Patrick Bamford may depart after a few months at Elland Road due to injuries, which might provide room for Isidor.
According to the source, Leeds may sign another “defined” No. 9 if they decide to add a striker, and Isidor is a good fit. The Black Cats star has been playing very well this season, scoring 12 goals in the Championship so far, including the game-opening goal against Farke’s team on Monday night, which prompted Sky commentator Dougie Critchley to refer to him as a “one man machine.”
Isidor, who turns 25 at the beginning of next season, has established himself as one of the finest in the second division with seven league goals in his previous 11 Championship games. If Leeds climb up at Sunderland’s expense, they may decide to make a move for the French-born player.
Sunderland will undoubtedly want to keep him if they win, but Leeds’ late victory over them in midweek puts the Yorkshire team two points ahead of Sheffield United in second place and 10 points ahead of the Wearside club. Unless something changes drastically, it looks like the Black Cats will have to settle for the play-offs.
Isidor is the perfect target based on performances this season. The Whites currently have Joel Piroe and Mateo Joseph as their attacking alternatives, but Leeds would benefit from a more clinical and instinctive striker next season.
