Leeds United<\/a> have stormed into the race to sign Ayase Ueda after completing a recent scouting mission on the impressive Feyenoord striker.<\/p>\n

It’s fair to say that Leeds mean business ahead of the summer transfer window. Their ambitions are becoming clearer by the day after moving six points clear of the dropzone with four games left to play in the Premier League<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Daniel Farke<\/a> will be hoping that their FA Cup semi-final against Chelsea isn’t the last time that Leeds make a Wembley appearance in the competition during his tenure. Even though it ended in defeat, there’s no denying that the Whites outmatched expectations.<\/p>\n

The focus should now turn towards the transfer window and rewarding Farke for a fantastic first season back in the top flight. On that front, the 49ers are already looking to take advantage of their potential Premier League survival by targeting Wolverhampton Wanderers’ biggest star.<\/p>\n

The Midlands club have already had their relegation to the Championship confirmed and, as such, Leeds have reportedly set their sights on impressive midfielder Joao Gomes<\/a>. The Brazilian’s arrival could be part of an impressive list of additions, which could also include a 26-goal striker.<\/p>\n

Leeds United could have to smash their transfer record and pay \u00a350m to sign Gomes this summer<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/section>\n

As reported by TeamTalk, Leeds have stormed into the race to sign Ueda<\/a> from Feyenoord this summer. The forward has scored 26 goals in all competitions this season – outscoring everyone at the club – and has already been watched by Elland Road scouts, who have completed their recent mission.<\/p>\n

As strike-partnerships go, adding Ueda to Dominic Calvert-Lewin would be an incredibly impressive move by everyone involved at the Yorkshire club this summer.<\/p>\n

For all their impressive moments this season, Farke will be the first to admit that Leeds still need attacking improvements. It’s why they ended the afternoon on the losing side against Chelsea at Wembley and why Ueda is such an important target.<\/p>\n

What instantly stands out about Ueda is just how clinical he is. So far this season, he’s recorded an XG of 17.88, whilst scoring 25 goals in the Eredivisie. He has simply been ruthless in front of goal.<\/p>\n

\n\t<\/h5>\n

The Whites have made contact to sign an “aggressive” player.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

At 27 years old, the Japanese striker is at the peak of his powers and should be ready to step into the Premier League next to Calvert-Lewin.<\/p>\n

Leeds are not the only side interested, especially in the Premier League, and that’s why they should do everything to sign Ueda this summer. He would finally complete Farke’s frontline, taking the club to another level in the process.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
