Leeds striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin was previously slated, but the Englishman netted his first goal for the Whites at Molineux in a huge three points.
Sources told Football Insider that Leeds are monitoring Crystal Palace’s Jean-Philippe Mateta to fix their goal drought, which was miraculously turned around on 20 September.
