Daniel Farke is reportedly “concerned” about the current strikers at Leeds United, as highlighted by Graeme Bailey. The club has faced questions regarding its number nine position due to the inconsistent performances of Mateo Joseph and the injury history of Patrick Bamford.
While Joseph recently showcased his potential by scoring a hat trick for Spain’s Under-21s in a 4-3 win against Kazakhstan, he has struggled to replicate that form in the Championship, netting only one goal for Leeds this season. Bailey pointed out the lack of belief within the team regarding the ability of strikers like Joseph, Bamford, and Jaidon Sancho to consistently find the back of the net, saying, “From my understanding, I don’t really think there is a belief that Piroe, Bamford, or Gelhardt are the ones to get them goals.”
Farke has expressed concern about Joseph’s performance levels, noting that if he doesn’t improve, the young striker could attract interest in the January transfer window. His recent form for the national team has fans wondering why he cannot replicate that success at the club level. With the pressure mounting, Joseph will need to enhance his on-field contributions to retain his starting spot, especially with Bamford’s return to fitness looming.
Leeds United’s promotion ambitions depend significantly on their attacking options, and as the season progresses, it will be crucial for Joseph and his teammates to step up and provide the goals needed for success.
