Voetbal International reports that Championship clubs Leicester City, Southampton, Middlesbrough, Stoke City and Birmingham City have all enquired about signing Joel Piroe this month. He has rejected their approaches as he is not in a rush to leave Elland Road this month.

According to TeamTalk, Middlesbrough are interested in Leeds United striker Joel Piroe. The report adds that Joel Piroe wishes to stay at Elland Road and compete for his position. Leeds have deemed the striker surplus to requirements during their attempt to remain in the top flight, coupled with Calvert-Lewin's increasingly impressive form. Piroe's position could be a problem for Middlesbrough's efforts, and the forward will require convincing to move to Teesside.

Several second-tier sides are monitoring Joël Piroe's situation, as the Dutch striker has seen his role at Leeds United diminish following their promotion, making 10 appearances in the Premier League this season. While it is reported that no one at Elland Road is actively trying to sell the 26-year-old and they believe he wants to establish his ability in the top division, there is an acceptance that the player and club would need to make a decision if offers are received this month. Middlesbrough, Birmingham City, and Stoke City are identified as Championship clubs that could act if Piroe's availability changes, with Middlesbrough noted as a suitable club due to their need for another goalscorer. PSV have also been linked with the player, whose contract runs until June 2027. Leeds signed Piroe from Swansea City in August 2023 for a reported fee of €14 million, and his current Transfermarkt valuation is €15.00m.
