Our view
It’s great to see Leeds closing in on such a talented forward. Piroe is just the sort of player you want in the Championship.
Last season, Piroe bagged 19 Championship goals for Swansea. The season before, he netted 22 league goals.
As per , he is a ‘complete and powerful striker’ who can also feature further back and even on the flanks.
Hopefully it won’t be long before we get that all-important official announcement for another powerful signing Rodon.
