Leeds United are being backed to sign a third centre-forward during the January transfer window, according to former striker Jermaine Beckford. The ex-Leeds and Everton forward believes the club should bring in additional attacking competition for England international Dominic Calvert-Lewin.
Beckford, who played for Leeds between 2006 and 2010, suggested that extra competition would benefit Calvert-Lewin and strengthen the squad's depth up front. The 38-year-old's comments come as Leeds look to bolster their promotion push in the Championship.
Calvert-Lewin, who joined Leeds in the summer, has been a key figure in attack this season. The potential arrival of another number nine would provide cover and create a three-way battle for the starting role.
