The Leeds United technical director has landed an important target in Joel Piroe
Leeds United finally got the striker Daniel Farke had been pleading for with the arrival of Joel Piroe from Swansea City. The Dutch youth international wasted no time in getting his goalscoring account up and running, notching the Whites' third goal in a frantic opening 20 minutes at Portman Road.
Leicester City, Southampton and Italian side Atalanta had all shown a genuine interest in the 24-year-old, but their interest dwindled in the closing days of the window. According to our sister title Wales Online, Bundesliga sides Freiburg and Augsburg also showed a late interest, while Borussia Dortmund were tentatively linked too.
Steinsson's insistence to speak with City's American owners, rather than through Swansea's sporting director Paul Watson, who had previously been responsible for negotiations, effectively rendered those concerns redundant. The club's owners were perhaps wary of losing Piroe for nothing at the end of next season, agreed a deal to suit all parties.
