Joel Piroe boasts a respectable record of ten goals in 29 Championship appearances so far this season, but Mateo Joseph only has two goals in 28 🌺games, so Leeds could do with someone to push the Dutchman.
Now, sources have informed TBR Football that Leeds United are in talks with Southampton over a deal to sign Cameron Archer.
Leeds United in talks to sign Cameron Archer from Southampton
Graeme Bailey – Chief Correspondent at TBR Football – has now been told that Leeds are currently holding talks with Southampton over a deal for the 💖man born in Walsal🐲l.
Archer – who Southampton signed from Aston𝓀 Villa in a £15m deal back in August – has only made ten Premier League starts out of a possible 23 th🐲is season, scoring twice, and the Saints are ready to let him depart.
We understand Southampton would allow the 23-year-old to leave on loan, but will insist on an 🍰obligation for Leeds to buy him pe𒀰rmanently if they achieve promotion to the Premier League.

Sources have also told TBR Football that Sunderland are ready to make a bid for Archer as well, although Leeds – who face a fight to keep Pascal Struijk from Tottenham and Wolves – are in poꦺle position.
The Whites are also believed to have sho🌟wn an interest in Middlesbrough No.9 Emmanuel Latte Lath, but their at💯tention is now solely on the Southampton No.19 – who is understood to be keen on a move to Elland Road.
