da betsson： Leeds United manager Thomas Christiansen is targeting a new striker in January, with Liverpool’s Danny Ings and Manchester United’s James Wilson on the list, according to The Mirror.
What’s the word?
da pixbet： The season started off perfectly for the Whites as they went seven games unbeaten in the Championship.
However, in their last nine matches, the team have only picked up two wins, which has caused a dent in their promotion hopes.
Christiansen’s side were in and amongst the top six in the early stages of the campaign, but after their recent spell, the club find themselves 10th in the standings.
Now it appears that the manager wants to strengthen attacking areas when the transfer window reopens in January.
The newspaper edition of The Mirror claims that the Whites are considering loan moves for Ings and Wilson.
Are they good options?
Neither Ings nor Wilson have played Premier League football this season as both have struggled to earn a place in their respective first teams.
Ings is slowly coming back from injury hell, while Wilson has been playing for the United Under-23s following loan stints at Brighton and Derby County.
Christiansen would be taking a big risk in signing either player due to their lack of first-team football this season.
The manager brought in four attacking players in the summer window – Pierre-Michel Lasogga, Caleb Ekuban, Jay-Roy Grot and Pawel Cibicki.
However, only Lasogga has scored in the league, while injuries and lack of form has disrupted the other players’ progress.
There will be plenty of pressure on Ings and Wilson to perform if they were to move to Elland Road, and given the pair’s current situation, they may not be able to deliver.
