Fresh from a dramatic FA Cup quarter-final penalty shootout victory over West Ham, Leeds United's season is reaching a thrilling crescendo. A semi-final clash with Chelsea awaits, but manager Daniel Farke is already facing challenges, with injuries to key players like Anton Stach and Joe Rodon complicating a hectic run-in.
Despite the immediate squad concerns, the club's ambition is clear, with summer transfer plans already taking shape. According to reports from Germany, Leeds are among the clubs monitoring Borussia Mönchengladbach striker Haris Tabaković.
The 31-year-old Bosnian international, on loan from TSG Hoffenheim, has been in clinical form this season, netting 13 goals and providing three assists in 31 appearances. His underlying numbers are equally impressive, with a non-penalty expected goals metric that ranks him among the Bundesliga's top forwards.
With a reported price tag of just €5 million, Tabaković presents a potentially shrewd piece of business. Gladbach's financial situation reportedly prevents them from making the deal permanent, and the player himself has suggested a return to Hoffenheim is likely. However, Leeds, with their Premier League resources, could easily meet the asking fee.
For a Leeds side looking to solidify their top-flight status and build on a promising season, a proven, in-form goalscorer like Tabaković could be the perfect solution to add depth and competition to Farke's attacking options. As the summer window approaches, this is a transfer story worth watching for the Elland Road faithful.
