The Story in 60 Seconds

GiveMeSport's Jamie Kemble argues that Leeds United should target Everton striker Thierno Barry as a replacement if they sell Lukas Nmecha in January. Reports indicate manager Daniel Farke's side may consider offloading Nmecha, who is out of contract next summer and has yet to start a Premier League match this season.

Kemble suggests Leeds should replicate their previous move for Dominic Calvert-Lewin by testing Everton's resolve for Barry, who cost the Toffees £27 million. While Everton may be reluctant to part with the 24-year-old forward mid-season, Kemble believes Leeds could capitalize on Everton's ownership situation with a substantial permanent bid.
