The closure of the summer transfer window left a nagging feeling Leeds United have left themselves short in one key area.
Despite completing the free transfer addition of former Everton striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin and versatile forwards Noah Okafor and Lukas Nmecha, Daniel Farke’s options in the attacking third appear to be short of where the Whites boss would like them to be.
Speaking after Saturday’s late defeat to Fulham, Farke said: “We never just try to park the bus but I can't expect as many end products as in the Championship. We have to play tight games and make sure we score goals from our situations. This will be our approach until at least January, let's see what happens in January. My dream football is possession and play the opponents off the park, you know my reputation as a coach, but I have to adapt to reality and make sure we're rock solid."
That hasn’t always been the way for Leeds and they have had some of the most prolific strikers in the Premier League during the last 30 years - but who are the best strikers to have worn the iconic white shirt during that time?
