Leeds United attacker Joel Piroe has been linked with a move away from the West Yorkshire club in recent months.
Joel Piroe has struggled for regular opportunities at the Premier League club, and he needs to move on to play more often. According to Football Insider, Scottish outfit Rangers are interested in securing his signature. They could look to sign the 26-year-old in the summer. It remains to be seen how the situation develops.
Joel Piroe needs game time
Piroe is at the peak of his career, and he needs to play regularly. He has played just 277 minutes of Premier League football this season. Sitting on the bench at the Premier League club will not benefit him. Rangers could provide him with regular football at a competitive level. They are one of the biggest clubs in Scotland, and the opportunity to play for them will be exciting for the Leeds United attacker.
Piroe has previously shown his quality in English football, and there is no doubt he can succeed in Scotland as well. Rangers need to add more depth to the attacking unit, and the 26-year-old striker could be the ideal acquisition for them. He will be determined to prove his quality in Scotland, and his hunger to succeed will be an added bonus.
Piroe was excellent for Leeds United last season, scoring 19 goals across all competitions. He picked up seven assists along the way as well.
Leeds United likely to cash in on Piroe
Leeds United are unlikely to stand in his way in the summer. They will look to cash in on the player and invest the proceeds from his departure into the playing squad. Piroe is no longer a key part of their plans, and it does not make sense for them to block his exit.
Leeds are fighting for survival in the Premier League this season, and they need to keep improving the team if they want to continue competing in the top flight. They will need the funds to improve the squad, and selling some of their unwanted players would be a step in the right direction.
The 26-year-old needs a fresh start as well. He is very much at the peak of his career, and he will look to get back to his best once again. The move to Scotland would be ideal for all parties.
