They brought in Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Lucas Nmeka on free signings over the summer, but their lack of performance in front of goal meant they had to sign a new No.9.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- No AdsNinja v10 Client! --><!-- No AdsNinja v10 Client! --><\/p>\n<p>Sure, that player could be Troy Parrott. The former Tottenham Hotspur star is said to be a key target for Los Blancos heading into the winter transfer window.<\/p>\n<p>However, the 49ers are not guaranteed to sign him, with Wolverhampton Wanderers also interested in the \u00a320m star.<\/p>\n<p>    In fact, the Ireland international has shown such impressive goalscoring ability that it has generated such interest.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- No AdsNinja v10 Client! --><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"why-leeds-want-to-sign-parrott\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_Leeds_want_to_sign_Parrott\"><\/span>\n                        <strong>Why Leeds want to sign Parrott<\/strong><br \/>\n               <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>\u00a320 million is a small amount in the current transfer window, but Parrott certainly seems worth that kind of money. The 23-year-old has been an impressive goalscorer this season for both his Eredivisie club AZ Alkmaar and his native Ireland.<\/p>\n<p>    The Dutch first-team and Spurs academy graduate scored an impressive 14 goals in 15 appearances, and also provided a number of assists. His form in the Eredivisie has been brilliant, scoring seven goals in eight appearances.<\/p>\n<p>But what has really stood out recently is Parrott&#8217;s form with the Ireland international.<\/p>\n<p>    He became a national hero earlier this month, scoring five times in just two World Cup qualifiers, helping lead his team to the play-offs and ensuring his dream of going to America next summer stays alive.<\/p>\n<p>The Irish star, who has 33 caps, kicked off their November qualifying campaign with two goals to help Portugal win 2-0. In the next match against Hungary, the centre-forward scored his third goal in stoppage time, completing a remarkable hat-trick and securing a 3-2 win and a place in the play-offs.<\/p>\n<p>However, in order to raise the funds to sign the Ireland international striker, Leeds may first need to sell one of their high earners.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- No AdsNinja v10 Client! --><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"the-player-leeds-must-now-sell\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"A_player_Leeds_must_sell_now\"><\/span>\n                        <strong>A player Leeds must sell now<\/strong><br \/>\n               <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>After a summer of spending heavily under the 49ers&#8217; new regime, it&#8217;s unclear how much money Leeds will have at their disposal in January.<\/p>\n<p>    A reported \u00a320m transfer fee for Parrott is not a huge sum in the grand scheme of things, but no one knows how much the Whites have left in the bank.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, Jack Harrison may have to leave the club in January. After returning from a two-year loan spell at Everton, he has not been in great form this season and is not necessarily loved by the fans. Upon his return, he was booed at a pre-season friendly.<\/p>\n<p>    In fact, Harrison has not been Daniel Farke&#8217;s most trusted lieutenant this season. He has played 10 times in the Premier League, but only started once and played just 262 minutes.<\/p>\n<p>The Stoke-born winger is yet to feature this season but has scored 34 goals and provided 32 assists for Leeds in his career.<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps the highlight was his hat-trick away to West Ham United in 2022. However, it is impossible for him to reach such a grade now.<\/p>\n<p>The few seasons he spent as an Everton player were unforgettable. The former Middlesbrough star made 73 appearances for the Toffees but only managed nine goals and an assist.<\/p>\n<p>Premier League legend Gary Neville said at the end of last season that his &#8220;quality was low&#8221; at the Merseysiders.<\/p>\n<p>If Leeds were to sell someone, it&#8217;s easy to see why Harrison would be the frontrunner. Transfermarkt values \u200b\u200bhim at \u00a310.5m, and he is also the club&#8217;s second-highest paid player with a weekly wage of \u00a390,000 and a total annual salary of \u00a34.68m.<\/p>\n<div class=\"table-container\">\n<table border=\"1\" cellpadding=\"1\" cellspacing=\"1\" style=\"\" align=\"center\" summary=\"\">\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th colspan=\"3\" scope=\"col\" style=\"text-align:center;vertical-align:middle\">\n<p>Top 5 highest earners in Leeds<\/p>\n<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<th style=\"text-align:center;vertical-align:middle\">\n<p>player<\/p>\n<\/th>\n<th style=\"text-align:center;vertical-align:middle\">\n<p>Weekly wage<\/p>\n<\/th>\n<th style=\"text-align:center;vertical-align:middle\">\n<p>annual income<\/p>\n<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align:center;vertical-align:middle\">\n<p>dominic calvert lewin<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align:center;vertical-align:middle\">\n<p>100,000 pounds<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align:center;vertical-align:middle\">\n<p>\u00a35.2 million<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align:center;vertical-align:middle\">\n<p>jack harrison<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align:center;vertical-align:middle\">\n<p>90,000 pounds<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align:center;vertical-align:middle\">\n<p>\u00a34.68 million<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align:center;vertical-align:middle\">\n<p>Sean Longstaff<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align:center;vertical-align:middle\">\n<p>80,000 pounds<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align:center;vertical-align:middle\">\n<p>\u00a34.16 million<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align:center;vertical-align:middle\">\n<p>daniel james<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align:center;vertical-align:middle\">\n<p>75,000 pounds<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align:center;vertical-align:middle\">\n<p>\u00a33.9 million<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align:center;vertical-align:middle\">\n<p>Noah Okafor<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align:center;vertical-align:middle\">\n<p>\u00a372.5,000<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align:center;vertical-align:middle\">\n<p>3.77 million pounds<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<th colspan=\"3\" style=\"text-align:center;vertical-align:middle\">\n<p>Information by Football Fancast<\/p>\n<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table><\/div>\n<p>Selling Harrison this winter could give Leeds the funds they need to strengthen their squad up front.
