According to a report from Voetbal International, the Championship clubs Leicester City, Southampton, Middlesbrough, Stoke City, and Birmingham City have all enquired about signing Joel Piroe this month. The player has rejected their approaches as he is not in a hurry to leave Elland Road this month.

Multiple second-tier sides are monitoring Joël Piroe's situation. The Dutch striker's opportunities at Leeds United have become limited following the club's promotion and the arrival of other forwards. The former Netherlands U20 international has made 10 Premier League appearances this season. No one at Elland Road is pushing to sell the 26-year-old, who joined in August 2023 on a contract until June 2027, and the club believes he wishes to prove himself at the top level. However, there is an acceptance that a decision would have to be made between the player and the club if any offers arrive this month. Stoke City, Middlesbrough, and Birmingham City have been identified as Championship clubs that should be ready to act if his availability changes, while his former club PSV has also been linked. Leeds signed Piroe from Swansea City in 2023 for a fee reported to be €14 million, and his current valuation by Transfermarkt is €15.00m.
