Leeds are exploring a late move for West Brom striker Brandon Thomas-Asante,\u00a0sources have told Football Insider.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

West Brom rejected a \u00a32million bid from Stoke for Thomas-Asante earlier this week, but they could sell the former Salford forward for the right price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Leeds are rivalling Stoke for the player’s signature before Friday’s (1 September) 11pm deadline as they look to bolster their attacking options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thomas-Asante, 24, has scored two Championship goals this season and also found the net in the League Cup first-round loss against Stoke.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Milton Keynes-born ace is under contract at The Hawthorns until June 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He joined West Brom from Salford City in a reported<\/a> \u00a3300,000 deal last year (2022).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In his first season for the Baggies, Thomas-Asante managed nine goals across 35 appearances in all competitions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prior to his move, the forward racked up 30 goals and 13 assists for Salford in the fourth tier of English football.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thomas-Asante primarily features as a central striker but can also play on the left and right flanks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Leeds are on the hunt for more striking reinforcements as they look to make an immediate return to the Premier League.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Whites have already sealed a big-money move for prolific Swansea striker Joel Piroe this summer – and the Dutchman scored on his debut against Ipswich last week (26 August).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, Sam Greenwood has completed a loan switch to Middlesbrough after falling down the pecking order at Elland Road.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Football Insider <\/strong>revealed on Wednesday (30 August) that Joe Gelhardt is also set for a Leeds United exit, with Ipswich Town plotting a late loan move for the 21-year-old.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
