Leeds United are one of the firm candidates from the Championship who could pave their way to the top tier of English football next season. Garry Monk has been the architect of a side which looks decent enough for promotion and without any shadow of doubt, it has been a successful season so far for the Whites as compared to their last season when they loitered aimlessly in the lower half of the table.
However, Leeds United have been timorously facing the uphill task of maintaining their momentum in the business end of the campaign and thus, irrespective of whether they get promoted or not, they would need to bolster their squad, particularly their attacking arsenal, in the summer. One of the players they should target is Middlesbrough’s out-of-favour attacking midfielder, Viktor Fischer.
Signed by the Smoggies in the summer transfer window of 2016 for a notable fee of €5million, Fischer had carved a scintillating reputation at Ajax owing to his flamboyant offensive instincts and his abilities to score superb goals. Ever since his move to the Riverside Stadium, he has found opportunities pretty hard to come by as Boro are reluctant to use a sensational winger like him.
In a situation where the player himself might be looking for an immediate outlet in search of regular game time under his belt, it would be a shrewd move on the part of a rising side like Leeds United to pounce upon the opportunity at the end of this term. The Peacocks have lacked creativity through the middle many a time and they have relied on their talismanic goalscorer Chris Wood for catering to the goal scoring needs of the club. So, will someone like Fischer come really handy for Monk if he is successfully lured to the Elland Road?
The 22-year-old is operates with sheer attacking instincts and is capable enough to play on the left wing as well as a no. 10. He has a really fluidic approach to the game and time and again, he had shown whilst his tenure at Ajax that he could split defences apart. Moreover, Fischer has an excellent eye for precise passes and knack to bang goals by shooting from the distance. Frankly speaking, he has the calibre needed to be a core member of any top quality side and given his age, he would be an investment worth making by the West Yorkshire based outfit.
