Leeds United striker Joël Piroe, 26, is being discussed as a potential transfer target this month and has also been linked with a move to Middlesbrough, Coventry City's promotion rivals. It is believed it would be logical for the club to sell Haji Wright to fund a move for a player such as Piroe. Questions have been raised as to why Coventry are not pursuing the striker, with the observation that while Piroe has been mentioned a couple of times, no concrete developments have occurred. Piroe has been described as a proven Championship goalscorer, and it is felt that this is what the team needs. Concerns have been voiced that owner Doug King may not have the ambition to sign players for large fees or wages. However, a transfer for the Dutch player to Coventry is considered unlikely. Piroe joined Leeds in August 2023, and his contract is valid until June 2027. In the current Premier League season, he has made 10 appearances and has not scored any goals or provided any assists. Other clubs, such as Celtic and Leicester City, have also been linked with him. Transfermarkt estimates his market value to be €15 million. His 2023 transfer to Leeds was for a reported fee of approximately €14 million.
