Marcelo Bielsa has already brought five new players to the Elland Road after his appointment as Leeds United manager, including Patrick Bamford, but he is still keen to bring another hitman. As per one of the latest reports by Yorkshire Evening Post, he has his gaze fixed on Moussa Konate of Amiens.
One of the major headaches for the Whites last season, under the tutelage of Thomas Christiansen as well as Paul Heckingbottom, was their stuttering form in front of the goal and no wonder why Bielsa is keen to bolster his attack. Konate impressed in Ligue 1 last term, plundering 13 goals in 33 appearances.
Get French Football News have indicated that apart from Leeds United, their Championship rivals Brentford are also monitoring the 25-year-old. It will be intriguing to see which club has the last laugh, for their striking department will certainly get enhanced after the addition of Konate into their arsenal.
He has plenty of experience under his belt, having previously plied his trade for Maccabi Tel Aviv, Krasnodar, Genoa and Sion. The Senegalese international can operate as a winger too and his physical presence in the final third should prove to be a huge asset for Leeds United this season if the deal materializes.
