Leeds United have identified Panathinaikos striker Fotis Ioannidis as a potential target as they look to add attacking options this summer. The interest comes while the club prepares to finalise Dominic Calvert-Lewin\u2019s arrival; they are set to announce the signing of Dominic Calvert-Lewin after he had a medical on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
With Daniel Farke preparing for life back in the Premier League, Leeds want further reinforcement up front. Ioannidis, 25, has been linked with moves to the Premier League in recent transfer windows and could be open to a switch if Leeds firm up their interest with a bid.<\/p>\n
The forward has been prominent in the Super League Greece, with 34 goals to his name over the last two campaigns. That record is a clear factor behind Leeds\u2019 assessment of his suitability for the top level, and his style of play is described in the club\u2019s scouting as a good fit for the Premier League.<\/p>\n
Other clubs have shown interest in Ioannidis previously. Ipswich Town wanted the \u2018dangerous \u2018 Panathinaikos star last summer, and West Ham United were reportedly linked with him during the winter transfer window. Leicester City also wanted him a year ago.<\/p>\n
Leeds are exploring alternatives as well. AC Milan attacker Noah Okafor is also under consideration, while Tottenham Hotspur winger Manor Solomon reportedly wants to return to Leeds after a successful loan spell.<\/p>\n
The recruitment drive reflects urgency. Farke needs all the attacking firepower he can get in his bid to keep the Whites up given his underwhelming managerial record in the top-flight. Leeds need to hit the ground running when they kick off the 2025-26 Premier League campaign at home against Everton on Monday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
