Sky Sports News journalist Lyall Thomas has reported that Leeds United, along with Norwich City and West Bromwich Albion, are considering Geubbels as a potential option. Leeds is currently engaged in a close title race with Sheffield United, sitting two points behind their rivals but with a game in hand.

Despite being the top scorers in the Championship with 51 goals in 27 matches, head coach Daniel Farke is seeking more firepower in the attack. Mateo Joseph has had difficulty leading the line, netting only two goals in 27 appearances.

Additionally, veteran player Patrick Bamford has reportedly requested to leave the club after not starting any of the last ten games. Geubbels, a 23-year-old striker in the Swiss Super League, has scored six goals in 13 matches for St. Gallen this season.

He joined St. Gallen in January 2023 as a free agent after departing AS Monaco. Standing at 6 feet 1 inch tall, he is recognized for his strength and athleticism.

Although he struggled to make an impact with Lyon’s senior team after coming from their prestigious academy, he still possesses considerable potential.

A £62 million former Arsenal target.

In 2018, Arsenal showed interest in acquiring Geubbels, with Lyon pricing him at an astonishing £62.5 million. Ultimately, Monaco signed him, seeing him as a promising future star in European football. However, injuries and a lack of playing time stifled his development in Ligue 1, leading to his departure from the club.

Leeds already has exciting young players like Brenden Aaronson and Willy Gnonto, but with Gnonto reportedly considering a move to the Saudi Pro League, the need to strengthen the squad becomes even more pressing as the club aims for promotion to the Premier League.
