There was further frustration in front of goal for Leeds United as the Whites suffered a narrow defeat at Premier League rivals Fulham on Saturday.
With summer signing Dominic Calvert-Lewin leading the line and fellow new arrival Noah Okafor in support, the Whites had just three shots on target during a disappointing afternoon at Craven Cottage. Any frustration being felt by Daniel Farke was only heightened when Whites defender Gabriel Gudmundsson diverted a corner kick beyond Karl Darlow in the fourth minute of second-half injury-time to ensure Leeds emerged without a point from their visit to the capital.
Although there are only four games gone in the Premier League season, the fact Leeds have failed to find the net in three of those games and that their only goal came from the penalty spot will not be lost on Farke as fears over a lack of depth and quality at the top end of the pitch have been increased.
So could a new striker arrive in January and if so, who could be brought in to aid the Whites frontline?

7. Alexander Sorloth - Atletico Madrid
Sorloth's previous Premier League stay was underwhelming at best as he scored just once in 20 appearances for Crystal Palace. However, since leaving Selhurst Park in September 2020, the Norway international has found the net for the likes of RB Leipzig, Real Sociedad and Villarreal. Sorloth has scored 25 goals in 56 appearances for Atletico Madrid since joining Diego Simeone's side last summer - but there are suggestions he could be available. | Getty Images
8. Hee-chan Hwang - Wolverhampton Wanderers
A more versatile option given his ability to play across the frontline and maybe not the natural number nine Leeds require. The South Korea international has one goal in four Premier League games this season and still has three years left on his current deal at Molineux. | Wolves via Getty Images
