Leeds United's pursuit of Adam Armstrong has emerged as a surprise late transfer window development. The club is unlikely to sign either Armstrong or his Southampton teammate Cameron Archer before the 11pm deadline.
Leeds United's pursuit of Adam Armstrong came as a surprise to many due to the timing of the transfer rumors. Armstrong, a 27-year-old striker who has scored three goals in 23 appearances for Premier League strugglers Southampton this season, is also reportedly attracting interest from Middlesbrough. Leeds, known for their disciplined approach, have had a quiet January transfer window thus far, refraining from any new additions.
Some attribute this to the strong team cohesion cultivated by manager Daniel Farke, as the club's primary objective remains securing a return to the Premier League. Striker Joel Piroe has shown impressive form recently, netting five goals in his last eight matches, seemingly finding his groove at a crucial time for Leeds. Following Leeds' dominant 7-0 victory over Cardiff at the weekend, Farke addressed the media, stating that Leeds would only make a move if a player of the right caliber was identified. 'We have spoken openly about how we trust this group,' Farke said. 'If we find something we will go for it. Not over the moon after this. Our general picture won't change. 'I don't think the teams around us are right now scared. I think they expected the win. I don't think they will now crumble,' he added. 'I think at this stage, everyone is concentrated on themselves. We all know days like this can happen. It will be the same when we show up at Bramall Lane.' Leeds Live understands that Leeds United are unlikely to sign Armstrong, who scored the winning goal against Leeds in the Championship play-off final last season, or his Southampton teammate Cameron Archer before tonight's 11pm transfer deadline. The squad numbers currently available to potential new signings at Leeds are No. 12, No.13, No.15, No.16, No.18, No.20, No. 24, No.27, and No. 28.
