Leeds United continue to hold an interest in Flamengo’s lethal frontman Pedro…

What’s the latest?

That’s according to CBS reporter Ben Jacobs, who supplemented earlier reports that suggested the Whites will reignite their interest in January following a scuppered summer move.

Jacobs told GIVEMESPORT: “I think that the other name to keep an eye on from Leeds’ point of view is Pedro, who could obviously be very important for Brazil at this World Cup.”

Imagine him & Rodrigo

With the recent exploits of Rodrigo, to pair him with this clinical forward could be a stroke of genius.

This season the Spaniard has scored nine times in the Premier League, having already surpassed his previous two tallies since his initial move to Yorkshire.

Meanwhile, Pedro has just enjoyed his best season in front of goal too, with 29 goals and ten assists across all competitions.

He followed up a campaign where he managed 17 goal contributions with huge growth, and should he move to Elland Road he could provide the necessary goals to ensure their safety.

This has added to his already illustrious goalscoring career, of which he has netted 82 goals at the age of 25.

Earning a call-up to the Brazil team, his stock has only been bolstered following the conclusion of the season in his homeland.

Guy Mowbray even highlighted his talents in an article for the BBC, where he claimed: "Let's face it, to get picked in a squad as loaded with attacking talent as Brazil's you've got to have something special.” He continued: “He's not quick but is an excellent finisher.”

Jesse Marsch will be keen to add a striker to his squad, especially with the claims of Pete O’Rourke who suggests a centre-forward will be a "top priority for Leeds in the January transfer window.”

With Patrick Bamford suffering once again this season from injuries, the combined efforts of Pedro and Rodrigo could be essential to their survival bid.

Both are in the form of their careers, so combined it could be frightening for the rest of the Premier League.
